Mental health crisis? Phone First Response on 01274 221181

Mental health problems can happen to anybody. It is important to remember you are not alone.

It is OK to ask for help if you are struggling. Maybe:

  • you have experienced trauma or a stressful event
  • you feel isolated and lonely
  • you have had relationship or money problems
  • someone close to you has died
  • you have been pregnant or had a baby
  • or you feel at a low point in your life

These feelings could show you need some support with your mental health:

  • if you are feeling down or sad
  • you are worrying a lot
  • you are having problems sleeping
  • or you do not feel like eating much

There are many support services available for people who live in Bradford. You can get help for stress, anxiety, depression and other problems with how you are feeling. Any information you tell the services will be kept safe and private.
