Getting Help

 

To access Aurora's therapy services you will need to have experienced abuse/trauma in childhood and be 18 or over.   You also need to keep a commitment to your weekly therapy, prioritise your recovery and recognise that hard work and courage is necessary to make progress and heal. Having a drug and/or alcohol addiction will not necessarily preclude you from applying to Aurora but you will need to have at least two years sobriety/abstinence before accessing services at Aurora.

​

If you feel that Aurora could help you then please contact us and take that difficult but vital first step.  A warm welcome awaits!

 

If you're in a crisis

​

Unfortunately, Aurora does not have the facilities to offer a 24 hour or emergency service for acute mental health problems or those in severe crisis. If you feel you are need of this kind of specialist healthcare we suggest you contact your GP, CPN or local Accident & Emergency department.

​

Alternatively, you can contact the Samaritans on 116 123. You can also e-mail them: jo@samaritans.org.
