Introduction
Find support if you need help now.
If you, or someone you are with, is in immediate danger, phone 999 or 111.
This time of year can be as stressful as it is joyful, as complicated as it is warm. Share your feelings with those you trust, and look for help if you need it.
Mental and physical health are connected, so taking care of your physical health through eating well and getting active can support your mental health.
Having a routine and avoiding excessive drinking can also be helpful.
