LITTLE THINGS SUPPORT SERVICES
RESOURCES FOR ALL
​
At Little Things Support Services, we want to emphasise that while we do not offer crisis services directly, we are committed to helping individuals find the support they need during challenging times.
​
There are various resources available, including specialised organisations, government helplines, and online platforms, which are dedicated to assisting individuals experiencing crises.
We are here to guide and direct individuals towards these resources, ensuring they receive the appropriate support tailored to their needs.
