We're all human — and mental wellbeing matters

Looking after our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health. It affects how we feel day to day, how we connect with others, and how we cope with life's challenges — big or small.

The Every Mind Matters website offers a range of evidence-based self-care actions and free resources designed to help you take simple, practical steps toward feeling more in control and improving your mental wellbeing.

Supporting someone you know

If you’re worried about someone, know that you don’t need to have all the answers to make a difference. 

You might worry that you do not know how to help, you'll say something wrong or make things worse, but the small things we say or do can make a big difference to someone. Practical help with daily tasks, a conversation, or simply being there can mean a lot.
