Funded counselling
Talking with a professional counsellor, who understands the pressures of your rural life and work, can be a huge comfort and source of practical support.
Just having someone there to talk to when I needed it most created a safe space I didn't feel I had in the beginning and to know that I can contact YANA again if needs be certainly puts my mind at ease.
YANA is quick to arrange a course of counselling sessions if we feel it will give you the help you need to improve your mental health.
