To whom should I turn outside of employment to help me deal with bullying and its effects?

Your own doctor should be able to help you with the immediate effects of bullying but he or she may also be able to put you in touch with other more specialist sources of support.

Some organisations now provide employees with independent and confidential counselling services for work and non-work related problems and these can provide a useful source of support and advice.

If you are a member you will be entitled to support and advice from your trade union.
