There are a number of different ways that CAB advisers can help people to resolve a problem.

However, it should be noted that advisers don’t tell clients what to do, but explain their options and the possible outcomes of different courses of action.

Clients are encouraged to make their own decisions and act on their own behalf. But if clients feel that they can not act for themselves, we can offer help with this.

We enable clients to manage their own problems by focusing on their needs as individuals.

Using the CAB Service's unique information system  and other reference materials, we are able to give you free, confidential, impartial and independent advice and information on a wide range of subjects.

Also, being a 'specialist' advice service for people who have mental health issues, we are in a unique position to advise on mental health services available in Sheffield and how to access them.
