Mental Health Support
Anyone can suffer from a mental health problem, and people can and do recover from them.
Mental Health problems include but are not limited to:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Eating Disorders
- Dementia
Broxtowe Borough Council is dedicated to supporting those struggling with their mental health and has set up a Mental Health Working Group to develop more ways to provide that support to its employees and its residents.
What to do if you’re struggling with your mental health
If you are concerned about your mental health, or you are worried about the mental health of a relative or someone you care for, the first thing to do is speak to your GP. They will help you decide what support is needed.
