Getting help over the holidays
Christmas and New Year can be a difficult time for many, especially those dealing with financial worries, poor mental health or domestic violence. As a PCS member, there are a number of ways PCS can provide or signpost to services to help you.
For services available to PCS members you can check out our Problem at Home? page on the PCS website. If you need help at work, see our Problem at work? page for guidance on how to contact your local representative.
