This is an anxious time for everyone and the impact the changes to our everyday lives are having on our mental health should not be underestimated.
The restrictions on our movement are necessary if we are to beat the coronavirus, but it is understandable that people will feel a range of emotions including loneliness and anxiety.
Further down in this bulletin are some NHS recommended helplines and websites for anyone who is currently struggling with their mental health.
Please take care.
