Information on mental health
Sometimes people feel uncomfortable with mental health problems and are frightened, as they don't know what to do. But doing nothing or avoiding the issue can make things worse. Mental health problems are common; one in four people will experience mental health difficulties during their life. You don't need to be an expert to help yourself or others.
Whether it is dealing with your own experience or supporting a friend understanding symptoms and treatment is the best way to overcome the fear and stigma around mental health. A range of interactive resources can help young people maintain healthy mental well-being. Download some uplifting tunes, maybe take a fun confidence quiz, or just share what's on your mind.
Mind Matters is a new society, meeting for regular social activities. It offers a chance for a wide range of people to get together and participate in positive action for their own mental wellness and for others. It aims to hold different events and socials and gain a strong social network where people can learn from each other and have fun!
