This year’s Festive Period is going to be more challenging for many. Mind and Samaritans have developed specific information on looking after your wellbeing during the festive period, which provides tips on how to cope as well as suggestions for supporting others.
If anyone feels they need support, these organisations are prepared to provide information on a range of topics including types of mental health problems, where to get help, and medication and alternative treatments.
You can also help find details of support available in our local area.
