Today is World Mental Health Day 💚
As a BAME councillor, I know Mental Health can still be a taboo subject in many of our cultures. It is often something people feel they have to keep quiet about or deal with on their own. But the truth is, talking helps, reaching out matters, and support is out there.
Whether you’re struggling, supporting a loved one, or just need someone to talk to, you are not alone.
Support services include:
✅ Lancashire Mind
@LancsMind
✅ Samaritans – 116 123 (Free, 24/7)
@Samaritans
✅ NHS Lancashire & South Cumbria
lscft.nhs.uk
✅ Lancashire County Council
@LancashireCC
✅ Help in Preston @HelpinPreston
✅ Community centres, youth groups and faith organisations across the city
It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s okay to talk. 🫂
