Mental health problems can effect anyone, and have a wide range of causes that can be complex and interrelated. Changes to routine and separations from friends and family can make people anxious and feel more vulnerable.
On this page we have bought together some advice from a variety of providers to help people cope in these difficult times. We have also idenified providers of training courses that will provide teachers, coaches and volunteers with tools to help others.
We have added a “Good Mental Health” page to this website.
