INFORMATION ON MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
The current circumstances are difficult for most people, but for those who have conditions that affect their mental health, this difficulty is exacerbated. And those who may not have suffered with their mental health before may find that they begin to experience problems.
It is important to remember that there is no shame in having a mental health condition. It is no different from a physical condition and there is support out there.
Below are some organisations who can assist. These services can also be used to find out how you can support a friend or loved one with their mental health
