Useful Resources

Please note that the topics we discuss, and the situations in which they arise, can be distressing. If you or someone you know is in need, please seek appropriate assistance. You will find below a list of useful resources regarding a range of subjects. Whilst I strive to ensure the links are up to date and correct, given the amount of agencies, and the international nature of them, it may be that some of the below are outdated or have since changed.

You may also refer to the 'Useful Contacts' page under the 'Contacts' tab for further international contacts and agencies. Please also share these resources and contacts with any others who may benefit from them. If you would like to suggest a resource for inclusion on the page, please contact me via the 'Contact Us' page under the Contacts tab. Thank you.
