If you or someone you know is feeling depressed or having thoughts of ending their life, this can feel frightening, confusing and isolating. It’s really important that you speak to someone about what’s going on and how you feel.
If you have questions around mental health support, some of the resources below may help. You can also make an appointment with your GP and/or reach out to one of the mental health support providers.
