You are not alone, you are important and it's ok to ask for help
Looking after your mental health
Winter can be a hard time of year, especially when we are still dealing with all the uncertainty surrounding coronavirus.
Talk to someone
While it is normal to feel worried, if you are starting to feel like things are getting too much, it’s important to speak to someone, whether that’s a friend, a family member, a teacher or a helpline.
Stick to a routine
If you are working or studying from home, simple things like setting your alarm, exercising and eating healthy food can make a huge difference to your mood.
Limit your time on social media
It’s important to stay informed, but if social media, and the news in general is causing you stress, try and limit what you are reading.
If your life, or someone else's life is in danger, call 999
