Finding your way
Mental health issues can be difficult as it is not easy for others to see how you feel.
Your GP can help discuss ways to try and help and sometimes a referral to a psychiatrist is necessary but often you may find self help is possible.
Please use our resources below to find ways to help yourself, it is possible to self refer to many mental health services without having to be referred by your GP.
Confidential help and advice
It’s safe and easy for you to speak to a qualified health professional. Just send a message, you don’t have to give your name. Discreet and quick. It only takes one message to start making a difference. You’ll get confidential advice from trained health staff in your area.
Do you, or someone you care for, self harm? This service looks to provide support for those affected.
