Additional Resources
If you are struggling with your mental health, it's important to reach out and talk to someone you trust about it. This could be a partner, friend, family member, or another trusted person in your life. They can help you take the first step towards getting the support you need.
Additionally, you can always contact your local health services or visit a community mental health team (CMHT) in your area for more detailed information about local resources or to discuss further support options.
