10 ways to support your mental health and wellbeing
There are many ways that you can support you mental health and wellbeing. However, here are 10 ways to support your mental health and wellbeing
Relationships throughout our lives: attachments
Attachment theory suggests that how we are cared for as babies and toddlers can shape how we relate to people later in life. Our very first relationship(s) in life form the foundation of our relationship style – or rather, our attachment style.

How can I feel better?
The first step has been taken: you or someone you care about have recognised that help is needed. That’s a fantastic start. What next? There are lots of options available, depending on your situation and circumstances. How do we decide what’s best for us, and how do we get the support we need?
How to grow your confidence
We all want to feel more confident at times. This could mean having the courage to be our true selves around anyone and everyone, or feeling able to call people out when their behaviour is harming us, or to simply be able to say ‘no’ to things or people. But why can these feel like such difficult things to do?
Mental wellbeing for all
We can all experience difficult times with our mental health, whatever our backgrounds or what our lives are like. But there are some things that can make facing mental health challenges more difficult, or more likely.
Love and compassion (for ourselves and others)
Showing love to yourself means being patient and kind towards yourself. This can be particularly important when you are trying to achieve something, and you need to be patient with yourself. Taking small steps by breaking big tasks into simpler parts can help you steadily make progress.
The Teenage Brain
Your brain is a very complex and interesting part of your body and oversees controlling and regulating everything the body does.
What to do in a crisis?

Below is a list of phone lines that are set up to support you in time of crisis, with staff on the other end of the line who are trained to help you.
