World Mental Health Day

If you, or someone you know, is in need of mental health support, remember that there are many free services you can contact at any time.

SecuriGroup continues to support World Mental Health Day, which seeks to raise awareness of mental health issues, encourages people to consider their own mental wellbeing, and to be aware of the support which is readily available to everyone.

Mental health continues to be a difficult topic for many to address, even as 1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health problem each year.

If you are experiencing mental health problems, if you simply need to talk to someone, or if there is someone else you are worried about, there are a number of excellent organisations you can reach out to.

We have included contact details for a small selection of these below.

You can also reach out to your GP, contact the NHS directly, in addition to the many free services from organisations such as the Samaritans.

Don't suffer in silence; explore your options, understand your problems better, or start with simply speaking to someone.

It doesn't matter who you are, how you feel, or what has happened: if you feel that things are getting to you, reach out and get in touch.
