Mental health help is available

It’s normal to feel stressed, anxious and even depressed in times of change and the pandemic has been challenging.

Eating healthily and being more physically active does help and Salford has over 60 parks and green spaces to explore. Salford Community Leisure has gyms, swimming pools and exercise classes. You can find details of parks at www.salford.gov.uk/parks and activities by visiting https://salfordcommunityleisure.co.uk

Meeting friends and family and spending time doing things you enjoy are also great mood boosters but if you need more help call Greater Manchester Mental Health on 0800 953 0285 for free at any time or visit https://hub.gmhsc.org.uk/mental-health/in-your-area/salford/ for support in Salford or www.partnersinsalford.org/emotionalhealthservices
