STAYING SAFE WHILE IN LOCKDOWN​

Staying Safe while in lockdown

Are you finding it difficult to be yourself right now?

There are 1’000’s of LGBT+ people in the same position. The added issue for you is that you can’t call anyone, the house is busy and someone might hear you.

Here at Support U we have a dedicated team ready to take an online chat with you. Please use it and go stealth, if you can.

Everyone talks about mental health but if what your hiding is hard for you to talk about, then reach out to us. We are a confidential support service for LGBT+ and questioning people. 

You are not alone. We stand by you. We respect your situation and understand it.

COVID-19 update

by Articles of InterestPress Release

Support U is currently monitoring CoronaVirus, COVID19 in line with official advice. During this time, we ask that our clients do not attend Support U for their appointments if you feel you may have the symptoms outlined by the NHS England.  

We have vulnerable people that attend our service and cross contamination is a concern. We want to continue to offer our service, so that the clients we see can still have their regular contact with someone in person. Many of our clients are isolated and lonely due to their Gender and Sexuality identity, we are their only contact in the week.  If you have an appointment and feel you need to cancel because you ‘may’ have the virus, we can offer a video or telephone call in it’s place*. Our groups continue to be cancelled for the current month. 

Thanks and best wishes, Support U Management
