Information on mental health

 

Mental Health Support
If you need support or help with your own or someone else's mental health, then go and talk to your GP. If you are in a crisis, you can go to your local A&E Department. You can ask both of these to refer you mental health services, and ask them to tell you about any LGBT specific mental health support in your area.
