Have you come across 'Connect and Offload (CandO)'?

It's a free helpline run by Rethink Mental Illness for anyone in Gloucestershire who's finding things a bit tough. It's also there for carers, friends, family and professionals who just need someone to talk to or some friendly advice.

We'd really like to hear your thoughts so we can make the service as helpful as possible.

If you can spare a few minutes, please fill in our short questionnaire – it only takes about three minutes, and your feedback will make a real difference.

Take part here: tinyurl.com/MHELOQQ1

Find out more about the helpline: gloucestershirecando.org

If you know someone who might benefit, please share this post — the more people who know about CandO, the more support we can offer across the county.

Thank you to everyone helping spread the word, especially our local partners at
