It’s Time to Talk!

 

Everyone has mental health – but some people struggle with it more than others, whether they’re adults or children.

 

 

 

It’s important to talk about how we’re feeling – but that can be hard.  People often say “I’m fine” and move on to talk about something else rather than tell anyone how they  are really feeling.

 

 

We often share links to useful information about mental health and so this seems a good opportunity to share some more.
