Visit your GP

Your GP is a great first step if you are worried about your mental wellbeing or that of someone else. They will be able to talk to you about how you are feeling, what options are available to you and can refer you on for further help.

All GP surgeries have a mental health link worker working with them. Mental health link workers can talk to you about specific mental health concerns and refer you on to further support. Contact your local GP surgery to find out more.
