Adult Mental Health

1 in 4 people are thought to experience mental health issues each year. It might be you, or someone close to you that needs support. 

If you are suffering from low mood, anxiety, claustrophobia or sleepless nights you might find some relevant information on the NHS website useful. There are also many other resources, some of which we have listed below. If there are resources that you have found particularly helpful, feel free to let us know and we can try to share these to help others.

The social science researcher and author Brene Brown has suggested that many mental health issues have their roots in the worries we have about how others judge us, and, crucially, how we judge ourselves. Her TED talk on shame and vulnerability ( which includes some funny stories, banana nut muffins and her love of stationary)  is about how to live more comfortably in your own skin.
