Wellbeing tips
Looking after yourself
Talk to someone you trust
Sharing how you are feeling with a trusted friend, family member or colleague can make a real difference. You don't have to face things alone.
Reach out to your GP
If you are struggling with your mental health, your GP is a good first point of contact. They can refer you to appropriate support and services.
Use Catherine as a supplement, not a replacement
Catherine works best alongside human support, not instead of it. If things feel serious, please reach out to a professional.
Take breaks when you need to
It is okay to step away from conversations and take time for yourself. Your wellbeing comes first.
