Your Mental Health Posted or Updated on 8 Nov 2023

A set of local tailored mental health and wellbeing resources has been launched to coincide with Mental Health Awareness week. The materials have resulted from collaboration by organisations including our local authorities, CCGs, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, Leicestershire Police and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.

The resources are especially aimed at reaching those who are experiencing mental health difficulties during the pandemic.

The information is available via the Start a Conversation website (https://www.startaconversation.co.uk/)  and takes a 3-tiered approach:

  • For those in crisis, those who require urgent or emergency help
  • Those experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety, who are struggling to cope and
  • Those who are more worried than usual and wish to improve their mental wellbeing

During this time of social distancing and isolation, please remember, you are not alone.

The right support for you or your loved ones is just a click or a phone call away.
