If you need help
If you’ve found your way to Resilient Souls, chances are you’re navigating some really difficult things, or walking alongside someone who is. Listening to the stories we share or reading our reflections may also bring up memories or emotions you weren’t expecting.
We hope our content helps and encourages you on your journey, but sometimes you may need more personal or professional support than we can offer.
We've included a number of Australian support services further down this page. If you're outside Australia, you can use the link below to explore options in your country.
Signs it might be time to ask for help
It might be time to seek extra support if…
- You feel the problem you're facing is interfering with your ability to function in a number of important areas of your life, including work, home and relationships.
- You find yourself coping by engaging in activities that provide immediate or short-term relief, but have unhelpful long-term consequences — e.g. excessive drinking, or using substances to numb the pain.
- Other people around you are worried about your emotional and mental health and you're becoming distressed by what you're feeling.
- You feel like your emotions are in control of you and you're finding it difficult to regulate them or understand what you're experiencing.
- Nothing you've tried so far has helped.
