@Anastasia I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, that must be beyond upsetting. Here with you today if you need this space to share your feelings 💜
I have all my fingers crossed that you'll receive a negative test result 🤞but just wanted to check in that you have supports around you to help through this time?

Thank you @Former-Member
I'm holding it together although I should add my boy has a s plan as late as last night and we have had tears around that too now since I posted.
He doesn't have an up to date safety plan, I'm wondering if you have advice please to help me sit with him to do one?
Anyone, help please?

Oh @Anastasia, this a lot to be dealing with and I'm so glad to hear you're reaching out for support for your son. I'm going to send you an email to check in with you and see if you need help for yourself and in supporting your son today, hope that's ok.

@Anastasia it's wonderful that you're able to find the support you need here in this community, the addition of crisis supports to the post is only to ensure that others have access to them should they need them. If anyone is feeling upset we'll be here to support them too 💜 Please be gentle with yourself today.
