Mental health and wellbeing throughout the Covid-19 outbreak

During these difficult circumstances, daily life may be very different and frustrating. However, by following guidance on social distancing and staying at home, you are helping to protect yourself, your family and friends, the wider community and the NHS.

At this time, you may feel a range of emotions, from being anxious to feeling bored. It is crucial that you take care of your mind as well as your body and seek further support if you need it.
