Online Support
Online support works very much the same as 42nd Street’s face to face support and there are two options for support:
We also run a weekly drop-in where you speak to a worker without arranging an appointment to ask about anything about support you may have.
You can read a little more about the support here and you can read about how support tends to work best here.
If there’s ways of working that you think might help you, we really encourage you to let us know about them too. Sometimes people use YouTube clips, songs, photos, art and more to explain how they’re thinking and feeling – you can use all of these during your support if it helps.
- Weekly messages, which involves you sending messages to a worker throughout the week, and receiving a message back each week at a time you both agree on. You can check your messages whenever works for you, and reply whenever is best for you.
- Live text chat; which are regular sessions booked in with your worker where you are both online, talking via text chat for around an hour, similar to how a face to face appointment would work.
