Covid-19 has now had a far reaching impact on our nations mental health. It’s more important than ever that we take positive steps to look after our ourselves, to seek help when we need it, and check-in and support people around us. This revised Guide to looking after yourself and others contains practical information about things you can do now to look after your mental health and wellbeing, on how you can support others, and where to find support if you or others need it.
Every Life Matters Cumbria, has teamed up with North East and North Cumbria Suicide Prevention Network, and CNTW NHS Foundation Trust, to launch three new short animations to support this revised Wellbeing and Mental Health during Covid-19 guide as part of its “look after yourself, look out for others, and get help early” awareness campaign.
