Mental Health Help
Welcome to YOUR Mental Health Help Pages…
On these pages you can select and access websites, charities and helplines for many mental health issues, from depression and anxiety to dementia and personality disorders. Perhaps you are experiencing problems with sleeping or phobias, or are feeling the pressures of being a carer or a student or becoming a new parent. There are also useful links to relevant Government departments and NHS services.
By clicking the links in the FIND HELP tag you will be quickly directed to that site for professional help and advice, support groups and helpline numbers if available*.
