Review
I honestly don’t know where my son and I would be without the support from Billy’s Lifeline. Natalie came into our lives at just the right time. My son, who is 12, has been struggling since we lost his big brother to suicide a few years ago. I’ve been to so many mental health services, but the waiting lists made it feel like they didn’t care.
Billy’s was different. They made home visits and even set up a well-being box for James to help with his anxiety. They helped him set small goals, and he really listened and stuck to them. Now he has been going out to South Shields for the past three weeks, and I can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel.
I was so worried about him spending a month in his room but even letting our dog come along helped. The phone calls from Billy’s have been a lifeline for me too. It’s such an amazing service, and I feel so safe going there. Just wanted to share how grateful I am for their support!
