Mental Health Awareness Week is being marked in so many beneficial ways by charities, helplines and communities.  Norfolk & Waveney Mind, a mental health charity, are doing just that.  Visit their website to tour a virtual ‘Festival Of Kindness’.  It really is a celebration of events, music, talks and activities for everyone and offers some great wellbeing advice.

 

About 1 in 4 people experience mental health problems each year so it’s important to know how we can help them.  Here are some top tips to help someone:

• Express concern and say you can help.
• Reassure them.
• Offer your time to listen.
• Act as you usually do together.
• Be patient.
• Offer practical help.
