Struggling with your mood or worries?

You're not alone - support is closer than you think

Signs you might need some extra support:

Feeling low, tearful or overwhelmed
Struggling to sleep or switch off
Withdrawing from family, friends or usual activities
Finding it hard to manage daily pressures
Worrying constantly or feeling hopeless

If these feelings last more than a couple of weeks, it's a good time to reach out.
Small conversations can lead to big changes.
