MENTAL WELLBEING

Mental Wellbeing

In every area of day-to-day life, we are exploring the effects and consequences that many stresses and strains can have on our minds.

Our feelings can fluctuate on a sliding scale - from feeling happy on one side, to a little gloomy and down at times, and in some cases, go beyond that and into depression.

In a recent, successful campaign by Rugby League players and the NHS, players talk openly about these issues and the need to ensure we 'strive to be happy' and are able to monitor our wellbeing carefully.

NHS North worked closely to compliment the players work and create a dedicated website.
