We understand the long-term implications and impact COVID-19 has had on our communities. Self Help UK know the importance of keeping connections going. Coronavirus continues to pose challenges for our mental health and wellbeing. We have created this page to help you to access support.

Mutual Support:  

Self Help UK have created a platform for people to share their experiences of surviving Coronavirus. This COVID-19 Survivors Group is bringing people together to talk about the longer term effects on their physical health and mental wellbeing. 

Having the backing of a mutual support group can help you to feel less alone and more understood. Mutual support groups continue to operate. If you would like to join a Self Help UK supported group visit our directory https://www.selfhelp.org.uk/directory
