Today Is World Mental Health Day

Barton House Surgery promotes Mental Health Awareness:

Staying mentally well is just as important as staying physically well. The last 18 months have been a challenging and disruptive time for all.
One in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. We’re getting better at talking about our mental health, and there are loads of services out there to help if you’re having a hard time, or just want someone to talk to.

We are all different and what works for one, may not work for others – below is a list of links of different services available to you that offer advice on symptoms, conditions, and how you can look after your mental health.

Children’s Mental Health Week 1st – 7th February

We have all been through a lot over the past year and it’s important that we all talk about how we are feeling. Help is out there if you or your child needs to speak to someone.

The theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week is ‘Express Yourself‘.

In Dorset there are free and confidential mental health services that can help support your child:

Dorset Council’s Educational Psychology Service has a helpline to support those who are worried about their child or teenager during the lockdown.

Text SHOUT to 85258 if you’re any age, it is free on most networks even if you get a warning message about costs.
