Movember (Men’s Mental Health Awareness)

This month is Movember, which is a great time to raise awareness of men’s mental health, but also to remind ourselves that its okay to not be okay. Everyone deserves to feel that they can seek support for their mental health when they need it. 

If you are struggling with your mental health or feeling low, there are organisations operating across Norfolk & Suffolk you can talk to, because mental health matters. We’ve listed some below:

• Samaritans, Free, confidential, listening and support for people and communities in times of need, available 24/7 by telephone and online: Samaritans | Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy | Here to listen

• Mind, A mental health charity with a wealth of resources, information and signposting to further support: Home | Mind, the mental health charity – help for mental health problems
