This charity is incredible and it has a button on their website that you can click on named…“I need urgent help”…Follow the steps to get to the place that feels best for you.
“We won't give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect.”
TIME TO CHANGE
“Time to Change is a growing social movement working to change the way we all think and act about mental health problems. We've already reached millions of people and begun to improve attitudes and behaviour. Despite the progress we’ve made, we know that many people still don’t consider mental health relevant to them. They don’t believe mental health problems are likely to affect them or people they know. But the reality is that mental health can affect anyone. Statistically, 1 in 4 of us will fight a mental health problem in any given year. That’s why our work is so important. No one should have to fear being treated differently because of a mental health problem.”
