The Trust’s top tips for mental wellbeing are:

• Talk about it – it can help to share your feelings

• Keep active – regular exercise really helps if you are feeling depressed or anxious. It can give you more energy too

• Relax – try and make time for yourself. Fit things into your day that help you to unwind like reading, listening to music or walking

• Keep in touch with friends – friends are important, especially at difficult times. You don’t have to be strong and struggle alone

• Accept who you are – our beliefs, background, culture, religion and experiences make us who we are. Everyone is entitled to respect including you

• Accept others – it’s easy to feel threatened or intimidated by people who are different. Everyone has something to offer

• Get involved – meeting new people and getting involved in things can make all the difference, for you and others. It can be very rewarding
