Mental health is just like physical health: everybody has it and we need to take care of it.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
Mental health problems affect around one in four people in any given year. They range from common problems, such as depression and anxiety, to rarer problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. 50% of all lifetime mental illness will be established by age 14, and 75% by the time a person reaches their mid-twenties.
Good mental health means being generally able to think, feel and react in the ways that you need and want to live your life. But if you go through a period of poor mental health you might find the ways you’re frequently thinking, feeling or reacting become difficult, or even impossible, to cope with. This can feel just as bad as a physical illness, or even worse.
It’s important to understand when you might need to get some help or support with how you are feeling – or to know when perhaps you may be experiencing a more serious problem. Currently in Tameside there are a number of options to support people who are struggling with their mental health.
Minds Matter
Minds Matter supports people with mild to moderate common mental health problems.
Mental Wellbeing Practitioners, Peer Support Workers and Counsellors who can help you to manage and overcome your difficulties via; counselling, one-to-one support, groups, drop-in support and coaching.
Courses for better health: Health and Wellbeing Centre
All the courses with the Health and Wellbeing College are fully co-produced and co-delivered by experts by profession (people who have professional knowledge in a particular subject area) and experts by experience (people who have personal experience of a particular health challenge). This approach empowers people to use their experiences to help others on their recovery journey. We have found that this way of working really brings a different dynamic to the college.
Life skills – Making a Difference
Making a Difference are an independent mental health charity based in Ashton-Under-Lyne who provide long-term opportunities for people who are aiming to rebuild their lives and improve their social integration.
Want to see somebody in person: Anthony Seddon Fund
At the Anthony Seddon Fund, they have lived experience of mental illness and its effects. They know how quickly it can take hold, no matter how long you have lived with it. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, that won’t ask you to make an appointment or put your name on a waiting list. They are here to provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where they can offer peer support where it is needed.
