Meeting an important need

Those who use the services of Cardiff Concern come to us for many different reasons which include depression, anxiety and relationship problems. We also help people who are bereaved, or suffering from an eating disorder or domestic abuse. As traditional relationships and structures like the family are breaking down, there are fewer supports for people in difficulty and so we are meeting an important need.

Many are referred to us by their local GPs, health-workers or friends and family. Often those who have been helped in the past refer their friends to us.
