Looking after your mental health
Having good mental health is essential for us to all live happy and healthy lives, but around one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. When youβre experiencing a mental health problem supportive, trustworthy, reliable information can make all the difference. Knowing you are not alone in your feelings and can get advice and support can help you to cope better and manage your mental health.
The extent to which anyone will need support will vary. Often advice on how you can help yourself will be enough, but sometimes you might find it easier to talk to someone who can help you and provide you with the support you need.
In this section of our website, we highlight a range of advice and information that you might find useful, useful tools that might help you manage your own mental health, information on the type of organisations you can call or arrange to meet with and what to do if you find you are in need of urgent help.
