1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health issue at some point in our lives.
But mental health is not just about being mentally unwell, it is also about being mental health and wellbeing too.
We have brought together a range of resources and information to help you to explore and understand common mental health issues. Each section has general information including services available.
If you feel you are struggling with your mental health and wellbeing, it's really important to seek professional support alongside these resources. You can register for support through the Life Lounge to work with qualified professionals, or you can contact your GP for individualised support and diagnosis.
In the event of an emergency or if you feel that your mood/mental state is deteriorating and you are not able to maintain your own safety and/or the safety of others, please attend your nearest A + E for an urgent assessment of your mental health support needs or call 999.
