People need help with all the ways that this national disaster has \u00a0impacted on their mental well-being. had. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. It shows maturity, common sense, a concern for others, and the courage to work through your problems. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can you start help? Well first of all help yourself. How are you getting on? Why not do a self-check? Have a look back at how you have changed over teh last 18 months or so. Are you sadder, more stressed, less able to cope? Have any pre-existing problems got any worse? If you are concerned then first of all try and make some positive changes. Exercise more, eat healthily, and above all talk to somebody about what\u2019s worrying you. Anybody will do. A close relative or partner, a family friend, a neighbour, anyone who will listen. Of course, you can always contact a therapist. If you are particularly worried then you really should get professional help. All this advice goes for people you know too. If they seem troubled then it\u2019s a simple job to jut start talking to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: Professional help is only a phone call away.
