All About You
Right now, how are you feeling?
How are you feeling? And that’s not just meaningless words, we’re asking because we do care and recognise the pressures that can impact our lives and in so many different ways.
It can be hard to admit the huge effect that life events or circumstances can have on us mentally, as well as socially and economically. Perhaps you feel you can’t cope or see a way forward, let alone plan confidently for a positive future for yourself and your family.
You aren’t alone. Many of us are feeling scared, confused, overwhelmed and isolated. But help is out there and admitting you need it and reaching out to someone is the first step to getting things back on a positive track.
