Choose well for your mental health

Download the ‘choose well for mental health’ guide from the South Yorkshire Partnership NHS Trust's website in English or Urdu.
It’s important that we look after our mental health and wellbeing the same way we do with our physical health.
If you hurt yourself physically, there would be things you could do to make yourself feel better. Say you sprained your ankle - you can rest it and take weight off it. The same is true for your mental health. If you notice changes to your mental health and wellbeing, there are things you can do to improve how you feel.
The earlier you recognise changes to how you’re feeling or behaving, and begin to take steps to improve things, the less likely these will get worse.
South West Yorshire NHS has created a guide to help you to choose well to support your mental health and wellbeing. Carers, friends and families can also use this guide to look out for those close to them and direct them to the right support. It’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with this so you know what to do in different situations.
