TOP TIPS FROM PRESTWICH PEOPLE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THEIR OWN MENTAL HEALTH

WORK OUT WHAT YOU CAN
DO FOR YOURSELF


Think positive
Count your blessings
Laughter is the best medicine
Smile
Shout it out
Write down thoughts, make a plan, keep a
journal
Accept it, don’t beat yourself up about it, make
a plan to deal with it and move on

DO SOMETHING YOU ENJOY

Fishing, cycling, listening to music, reading, walking, pavement walks, nature walks, countryside walks, listening to birdsong, eating your favourite food, singing, crafts, watching a film, gardening, exercising, retail therapy, getting the 'what's on locally' booklet—there's loads going on.

IT’S GOOD TO TALK!

Family time,
Talk to a friend,
Get out and be around people as much as possible,
Ring your friends or family,
Go to a social group.
