I got this call from one of your teams and what they said was huge – ‘let me help you’.

The team member I talked to was so compassionate, kind and lovely to me on the phone. She told me I was a good mum and I really needed to hear that. She had the right balance between sharing her experiences and not making it about them. I really appreciated her.

Recently went through a really hard traumatic time with my child and needed extra support. The lady who I spoke with was so beyond kind, understanding, empathetic and just a beautiful down to earth person who made it easy for me to get the help and support needed.
