I've had enough! I need a break

The daily pressures of living, working and parenting can at times overwhelm us. Usually family and friends are willing to carry some of the load on these occasions. However, there are moments when even the little things become too hard to manage or friends and extended family are not available. Professionals working in government and community agencies can help by providing non-judgmental practical support and advice.
