This week I’ve been compiling a list of local/UK mental health support services and charities that now feature on our blog and will form a directory in the newspaper.
One of the risks of raising awareness about mental health and publishing content that speaks about mental health is it could potentially trigger someone so we want to be able to signpost to relevant support services.
This is not by any means an exhaustive list and feel free to suggest any more:
