Mental health
If you’re feeling low, anxious, stressed or overwhelmed there are lots of things you can do to lift your mood.
Try taking a walk, talking to a family member or friend, or doing something relaxing like reading a book or listening to music.
However, there may be times when you may need a bit of extra help. Remember, it’s okay not to be okay.
