Love it or hate it, Christmas is on its way

We know that for some, Christmas may be met with apprehension and challenges, particularly for those with a mental health condition or for those who are supporting a loved one with a mental health condition.

The team here at HelpingMinds have put together a selection of hints and tips that may prove helpful in the run up to Christmas.

Festive Chatterbox

Did you ever make chatterboxes as a child?

Some people call them "paper fortune tellers" and "guess what?"

For a bit of nostalgia download your HelpingMinds Christmas Chatterbox full of mental health tips.

If you need a reminder of how to fold your chatterbox head over to our facebook page to have a look at our little video.
