Winter can be a difficult time for many of us. Shorter days, colder weather and extra pressures can all take a toll on our mental health. If you are finding things hard, you are not alone and help is always available.

Reach out for support as soon as possible.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or things are getting on top of you, please reach out early. Talking to someone now can make a real difference and help prevent things from becoming more serious later.
