Here to help: Our mental health self help guides

One in six of us will experience mental ill health. At some point in our lives we will know someone who is struggling. That could be us personally or a partner, family member, friend or colleague. Sooner or later, we will all know someone who is struggling.

We have written a series of self help guides covering a wide range of topics such as depression, anxiety and stress which offer users the opportunity to find out more about the causes of mental health issues and provide tools to work through feelings and emotions.

Our self help guides contain verified information and are written by NHS Clinical Psychologists with contributions from service users, healthcare and voluntary sector staff. 

They’re not intended to replace the advice of a medical professional. If it’s not a medical emergency and you’re unsure about what to do next, our self help guides can suggest next steps.

We hope you find our guides helpful.
