Self-care for your mind:

🔹Structure and plan your day. Even small things like keeping on top of household chores by doing 1 or 2 jobs a day can help you feel better and more in control.
🔹Stay connected with others. Stay in touch with family, friends and work colleagues.
🔹Talk about your worries. Speak with someone you trust about how you are feeling.
🔹Try learning a new skill or spending time doing something you enjoy regularly.

Self-care is also knowing when and where to go for help when you need it.

It’s not just about visiting your GP; pharmacies are excellent sources of health advice and treatments. Pharmacy teams can also direct you to the relevant services for additional support.

For non-life-threatening health issues, NHS 111 is a valuable resource and it now has a service for mental health advice.

The NHS website offers extensive information on how to care for yourself and your family.
