Mental Health Services on the Island
It is important that we look after our own mental wellbeing as well as those around us and know where to seek help if needed. Connecting with others, staying physically active and opening up a conversation about mental wellbeing can help people to cope while also finding services to support them if needed.
It is only by talking about issues that we can begin to break the stigma surrounding mental ill health and help to prevent suicide.Isorropia, have produced an informative film which highlights the different mental health support services that are available across the Island.
The short video has been made in collaboration with the Youth Trust, Aspire, Two Saints, Working Towards Wellbeing, and our NHS colleagues. We’re delighted to share this with you and we hope you’re inspired to share this across your platforms and with your colleagues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4RJGm_3fvk
By spreading and sharing this film the aim is to raise awareness of the different support services available so people know where to go to seek help should they need it. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation funded this project.
