We all go through tough times and people help us through them. Other times we have been worried about other people’s mental health. Whether they are a friend, family member or colleague, there are many ways to support somebody you care about.
At the Mental Health Foundation we believe that prevention is better than cure, so we want to help people support each other with their mental health and prevent more serious mental health problems from developing.
