What the people we support say. I don t think I would have got through all this without you. E.G., Befriending Call. It's been a lifesaver, and given me windows of brightness in very dark times. Anon, Counselling. The breathing techniques help when I m feeling stressed It has helped me put things into perspective. Anon, Stress Management Workshops.
