We don’t need to wait until we are struggling with our mental health; there are lots of things we can do to protect ourselves and prevent problems escalating, just as we do with our physical health.

Every Mind Matters offers a range of useful resources that help spot the signs of common mental health concerns, provides practical self-care tips and guidance and, importantly, explains when to seek further support.

Try our Every Mind Matters ‘Mind Plan’ tool below, which helps you to build an action plan to deal with stress and anxiety, boost your mood, improve your sleep and help you feel more in control.
