Mental Health Support - British Wheelchair Basketball

Many people experiencing a mental health problem will speak to friends and family before they speak to a health professional.

Mind offers guidance on helping someone else to seek help if they are experiencing poor mental health.

Seeking help is often the first step towards getting and staying well, but it can be hard to know how to start or where to turn to.

For many of us, our local GP practice is the first place we go when we’re unwell. Your doctor is also there to help you with your mental health.

The most important thing is to speak to someone you trust.

More information about seeking help for a mental health problem is available on the Mind website:
