We
all have mental health, just as we have physical health. In these
challenging times, it’s important that we take the time to look after
our mental health.
With the help of NHS Forth Valley Covid-19 Response Grant 2021-2022, we created an information leaflet about available help and support for people who struggle with their mental health. The information leaflet is available in English, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Polish and Russian languages.
