Mental Health & Coronavirus (COVID19)
Life has changed dramatically since the Coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic became everyday life for all in 2020. If you think your mental health has been affected by the pandemic, here is some useful information to help.
Coronavirus has affected us all in different ways. Whether it has meant a change to working practices, grappling with home-schooling, financial difficulties or maybe you or someone you know has had the virus.
We can offer support to help you to make sense of the last few months and find helpful ways to live a fulfilled life during the ongoing restrictions and beyond. For further information please see the following resources or contact us via the booking form.
