🌿 Self-Care Strategies

Small steps you can take to protect your mental health during difficult times:

💆‍♂️ Your Legal Rights

Under the Equality Act 2010, mental health conditions may be protected disabilities. Know your rights at work.

🏥 NHS Services

Access free talking therapies through the NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme.

🚶‍♀️ Get Outside

Make use of the UK's beautiful green spaces - even a short walk can significantly improve your mood.

⚖️ Reasonable Adjustments

Your employer must make reasonable adjustments if your mental health condition substantially affects daily activities.

📞 Helplines Are There

Don't hesitate to use free UK helplines - they're staffed by trained volunteers who want to listen.

👥 Community Support

Many UK towns have local mental health support groups where you can connect with others.

🤝 Our Community Cares

Important Reminder for UK Workers

No job is worth sacrificing your mental health. Under UK law, employers have a duty of care towards your wellbeing. If your workplace is causing significant distress, please prioritise yourself.

Remember: There are always other jobs, but there's only one you. Your worth is not determined by your productivity. You matter simply because you exist.
