A few weeks ago, I reached out to your helpline as I was not in a great place at all. At the time, I was feeling really lost and unsure of where to turn. My life felt like it was falling apart.
Everything at work had been going wrong over the past four months, after 17 years of dedication to the same school. Then to make matters worse, my new school was proving to be a disaster, and I found myself overwhelmed by the constant stress.
When I called your helpline, I was connected with someone who truly made a difference.
When I called your helpline, I was connected with someone who truly made a difference. It really helped having a trained councillor to talk to who gave me a sense of relief allowed me to regain control over my life.
Since that conversation, things have turned around in ways I couldn’t have anticipated. I applied for an incredible new job, one that truly excites me, and I’m thrilled to say that I got it!
I now know that everything is going to be okay, and that’s in part due to the support I received from your helpline. Thank you so much for being there when I needed it most.
