Hi

Interesting guide, some good stuff in there.

On occasions I work a with debt, mental health and some of the support agencies involved (even do a few presentations in this field every now and then)

Im not trying to be too critical here its just that there can be all the guides, booklets and info you like however ongoing close and face to face support is the key here in my experience and that can be a problem where debt and other issues for that matter are concerned. It really comes down to sufficient numbers of staff and funding again Im afraid.
