Look after your mental wellbeing with Mind to Mind

People dealing with life's challenges are being encouraged to look after their mental wellbeing with the support of Mind to Mind.

The site, hosted on NHS Inform, features over 30 videos of people talking about their own mental wellbeing challenges as a way to help others who may be going through a something similar. Covering topics including dealing with anxiety and panic, coping with money worries, handling stress, feeling lonely or isolated, lifting mood and moving through grief, each contributor shares practical advice on what has worked for them.

The website also features commentary from a range of professionals and signposts where people can access further help and support.

Dr Alastair Cook, Scottish Government's Principal Medical Officer for Mental Health said: "Our mental wellbeing, like other aspects of health and fitness, is something we need to think about regularly."

"There are lots of things we can do to improve our mental wellbeing, whether it's doing things that make you happy, making lifestyle changes, moving more, connecting with others or making time to get out in the fresh air. "If you're finding things difficult, it's important to remember support is available."
