About The Service
The Bristol Sanctuary service offers short-term support to clients. This service focuses on supporting episodes of emotional distress rather than providing ongoing support interventions. The service offers support interventions, including the discussion of self-management tools and the creation of Wellness Action Plans. The Second Step Team also offers clients support with managing suicidal ideation, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, low mood, social isolation, and sleep hygiene. We can offer additional support and signposting for issues such as housing, debt, health problems, drugs and alcohol use, substance misuse and unemployment.
