Develop the tools to better manage your mental health

The abrupt and continued changes to our lifestyle and new challenges brought about by lockdown can be difficult to come to terms with.

Whether you’re feeling depressed, anxious, or lonely, it is vital to develop coping tools and strategies to improve your mindset and mental wellbeing.

While a course may not help you feel completely better, it can offer information which you can use to help yourself and others feel more in control of your mental health during lockdown.

Manage anxiety and depression

Before coronavirus, 1 in 4 adults in the UK experienced mental health problems each year. It’s likely that this figure is now even higher.

According to a survey by UK mental health charity, Mind, 65% of surveyed adults and 75% of surveyed young people with experience of mental health problems said their mental health got worse during the coronavirus lockdown. Over 51% of adults and 55% of young people without experience of mental health problems also said their mental health got worse during this period.

Mental health issues are a normal response to extraordinary circumstances, and new habits and routines can help to reduce your symptoms and support you at this challenging time.

Develop resilience

Resilience won’t only help you get through this time of lockdown – it can also help you with stress management and difficult periods in the future.

Developing solid strategies for managing your thoughts and feelings now will help you and your household respond to this challenge, as well as future ones.
