Looking after your mental wellbeing

  • Being asked to stay at home, working from home or self-isolating, either on your own or with your family, can be difficult, lonely or stressful. It’s OK to feel like this – everyone reacts in their own way to challenging events and uncertainty.
  • There are lots of things you can try that could help improve your mood during this challenging time and reduce worries and anxieties.
  • Visit our ‘Look After You’ hub for lots of advice and tips around trying to relax, manage anxieties and generally looking after your mental wellbeing.
