Actually really annoyed/disappointed/let down and sorry I'm needing to vent a little - so don't read if you don't want xx
I've just been to my CBT, but we've got on for a while and I just use her for counselling and a chat - all excited and hopeful at the prospect for going to headway Falkirk after and hoping to actually chat face to face with someone and get a bit of much needed emotional support at the moment to be honest. The address where it's at was the Salvation Army... this wasn't open. So I found what street was pictured on google - no where was the actual headway place, just a lot of houses... so I rang the contact number on google for it and it just rang out... feeling a bit lost and clueless. Thank you for letting me have a bit of a rant xxxx
Hi Katy-
I understand your frustration completely, having built up your hopes, only to find yourself staring, effectively, at nothing.
I've only ever contacted my local Headway by phone or email, and only ever in my 'work' capacity, not in an attempt to join in myself, I'm not much of a 'people' person. I think that the way my local Headway works is on an outreach basis, with the head office being located a few towns over, but events and groups being held in community venues, I'm not even sure that the office is open full-time.
If I were you, I'd keep trying the phone number, or look for the website, to see what's going on where, rather than just turning up at the registered office? Could be that, like my local branch, it's not staffed full-time?
You still have 'us' online, though.
Yes I know, thank you 😊 I'm not too much of a people person though i rather that than phoning people! I thought it was rather daring of me, not even to ring first but while I'm in the area?! On the website it does say Tuesday morning they do a specific class there, and are open 9-5 Monday to Friday - though the website is perhaps outdated! The contact number is a mobile number too xx
