Indivdual contacts REACH via our website or social media platform
One of our volunteers will speak to the indvidual and talk about what they are going through. Once the individual is comfortable enough a meeting will be arranged.
Whether it be at home, a public place or the REACH premises. One of our volunteers will meet with the individual to talk about what they're going through and allow the person to vent and have a trusted person to listen.
If the individual felt that they benefited from a chat with one of our volunteers, ongoing 60 minute sessions can be arranged to help the person over come what they're going through.
