A new volunteer-led counselling service has been established in Jersey to support individuals navigating the challenges of neurological illness, trauma, grief, and emotional distress.
The Sophie Reid Neurological Association Counselling Service operates remotely, extending its reach to those who might face barriers to in-person attendance.
Established by the Sophie Reid Neurological Association, the service received essential technology, including a refurbished laptop and two mobile phones, from Jersey Telecom through its Community Giving Scheme. This donation enables counsellors to manage referrals and maintain confidential client records.
Founder Sophie Reid expressed gratitude for the support, highlighting the service's role in providing a vital resource for people needing assistance. The initiative aims to help individuals cope with issues arising from diagnosis, bereavement, anxiety, and trauma, particularly benefiting islanders with mobility or personal constraints.
