MENTAL HEALTH DISTRESS OR END OF LIFE CHOICES

There are times when emotional distress becomes so intense that life can feel unmanageable. You may feel trapped, hopeless, or as though there is no way out of the pain you are experiencing. 

These feelings can bring suicidal thoughts, strong urges, or impulses that may quietly sit beneath the surface. You might continue with daily life, hide how you truly feel, or fear judgment from others if you speak out about it. Without the right mental health support, this distress can intensify over time or lead to more complex mental health issues.

In difficult moments...During the storm...

-YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO THROUGH IT ALONE-

Your life has value. Your story matters.

Although we are not an immediate crisis intervention service.

 We can provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can begin to feel heard and supported and ride the storm you are experiencing now. 

At Picking Up The Pieces, we do not turn you away when you are at your most vulnerable and do not shy away or avoid these conversations about mental health crises, distress, suicidal thoughts, or death or dying. We provide:

• A compassionate, specialised mental health support in Truro, across Cornwall, & online. With professional and lived experience of understanding deep distress, crisis, or how the aftermath can feel, when you want to 'pick up those pieces'
• Post-Crisis Stabilisation: Helping you rebuild routines after the initial shock
• Crisis Integration Counselling: Helping you make sense of what has happened
• Relapse Prevention & Wellness Planning: Supporting you in making choices on how to reduce the risk of future crisis
• Ongoing Distress Support: Helping you feel more stable when things still feel overwhelming

We are NOT an emergency crisis service, but can offer support, with regular check-ins, continuity of guidance through storms as well as help you access the right services- so you are never left facing distress alone

If you come to us in emotional distress, a mental health emergency, or crisis, our work is direct.  We offer calm, compassionate, and practical support.

• Safe, Confidential Space: Speak freely and feel heard without judgment
• Understanding Your Experience: Make sense of overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Suicidal thoughts are a sign of deep suffering - not a failure and not necessarily a permanent choice
• Safety Planning: Simple steps to stay safe and access support in Cornwall or online
• Ongoing Support: Regular sessions or check-ins to reduce distress and rebuild stability

If it's time to pick up those pieces, we can help you feel supported, regain balance, and move forward at a pace that is right for you.
