We all deserve to enjoy life and feel good about ourselves but sometimes life can be tough!
Maintaining good mental health can be a challenge and sometimes we need to rely upon support networks and coping strategies to help us through. In Warrington, our Health and Wellbeing survey highlighted that 30% of respondents reported low emotional wellbeing and 22% were experiencing three or more causes of frequent or constant stress.
There are a couple of national campaigns such as “Stress Awareness Month” in April and “Mental Health Awareness Week” from 13 to 20 May, which will help to highlight the importance of good mental health but also raise awareness of local offers for those struggling.
Happy? Ok? Sad? is a resource embedded within the Warrington Borough Council website as a mental health support hub and directory. The site provides links and resources from over 120 providers both locally and nationally ranging from crisis support to online journaling, all of which have been approved and meet EQIS standards to ensure all providers promoted are quality assured and reliable.
