How do I apply and what happens next?

Please complete the short application form letting us know why you need help. We will contact you to arrange a time to have a brief chat with you about the support you need. We will then match you to one of our support practitioners who will be in touch to offer you support either as a voice call or a video call - whichever is more suitable.
