Mental Health - Challenges and Improvements

We look at many aspects of mental health, from loneliness, sleep or mind issues through to looking at the positive effects of laughter and how coaching can help you make important changes in your life.

Mental health is closely linked with other forms of health, but not as obvious.  It can lead to financial and physical problems as well as being distressing in its own right.

“We need, ultimately, to be able to view mental health with the same clear-headedness we show when talking about physical health”

Matt Haig

Mental Health Support

We offer support in a number of ways.  We provide links to generic support organisations such as charities in more specific areas, for a particular need or problem.  

We also in some cases provide specific support, sometimes in the form of one-to-one help, sometimes special events or services.

Finally, we can offer links to products which we believe can help in this area.

In these last two cases, they contain affiliate links which mean that we may receive a commission for purchases made through these links.
