Find Support
You Don't Have to Navigate Everything Alone
Self-discovery can help us understand ourselves more deeply. But there are also times when we need another human being, professional support, a recovery community or someone who simply knows how to listen.
This page brings together trusted mental health, crisis, emotional wellbeing and recovery services from around the world so you can find the kind of support that feels right for you. There is so many more organisations that can help you. If you can't find the support you need here, Google the specific support you need.
Important Note: Stardust Self does offer any psychological, medical or mental health support. Always use a professional support provider espcially in crisis situations.Reaching Out Is a Strength
You do not need to wait until things become unbearable before asking for help. Support can be useful when you're overwhelmed, struggling, feeling alone, worried about someone else or simply finding life harder than usual.

Finding support does not always mean the same thing for everyone.
Someone to Listen
Sometimes the most important first step is simply being able to say out loud what you are carrying.
Professional Support
A qualified mental health professional can provide assessment, treatment and personalised clinical support when needed.
Peer Support
Recovery groups and communities can provide connection with people who understand through lived experience.
Ongoing Self-Discovery
Reflection, education and self-discovery can sit alongside professional and community support rather than replacing it.
