People throughout Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes are being offered a series of free wellbeing webinars to help support their mental health.
After multiple national lockdowns have had a severe impact on people's mental health, Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) Clinical Commissioning Group has organised a series of free online events to offer guidance and advice.
Speaking about the importance of looking after your mental health, Dr Roshan Jayalath, Local GP and Clinical Lead for Mental Health in BLMK said: "As a GP, I know that people have been struggling throughout this pandemic and that mental health is as important as ever right now.
"It is extremely important that people get the help and support that they need as quickly as possible.
"This is why our local mental health teams have created this resource of webinars to ensure that people can access mental health support as easily as possible from their phone or computer at home.
"However please remember, if you feel like you are struggling with your mental health, it is very important that you talk to someone. You can call NHS 111, or speak to a trained medical professional who can advise on where you can get the right medical help."
The webinars, which have been accessed by more than 600 people so far, offer support on a range of topics including:
-
Men’s Mental Health
-
Stress Management
-
Managing Anxiety
-
Support during Pregnancy
You can access the webinars, which are open to anyone living in BLMK or working in the health and care sector, online by clicking here.
