Building your wellbeing and helping you cope
If you or someone you know is struggling with this very challenging situation we are all in, please click on the website link for ways to feel a bit calmer and ideas to help you cope.
This website, co-funded by NHS England, has been designed by a group of people who want to help anyone who is struggling with the very challenging situation we are all in, to feel a bit calmer and find new ways to help them cope.
We hope that 1000s of people will look at this website and together we can use the resources it offers, so that even though we are not physically with each other, we can feel connected ‘virtually’. Even if at the moment you’re facing things on your own, or feel like you’re alone, we hope you can still feel supported and connected to others in some way.
Things may be especially hard for you if you are a young carer, or a carer.
If you are self-isolating right now, we still want to help you find ways to feel more connected.

Mental Health Crisis
Guidance for the public on the mental health and wellbeing aspects of coronavirus
The coronavirus (COVID19) outbreak is going to have an impact on everyone’s daily lives, as the government and the NHS take necessary steps to manage the outbreak, reduce transmission and treat those who need medical attention.
It may be difficult, but by following guidance on social distancing, or staying at home, you are helping to protect yourself, your family, the NHS and your community.
During this time, you may be bored, frustrated or lonely. You may also feel low, worried, anxious, or be concerned about your health or that of those close to you. Everyone reacts differently to events and changes in the way that we think, feel and behave vary between different people and over time. It’s important that you take care of your mind as well as your body and to get further support if you need it.
This guide provides advice on how to look after your mental health and wellbeing during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
