Find mental health and wellbeing help that suits you

Everyone experiences challenges in life, and we’re often able to ride them out, one way or another. We take knocks, failure and rejection and find a way to get back on our feet and carry on. But sometimes, we don’t find it so easy. 

For some, life has thrown them into traumatic situations or experiences, while others can experience overwhelm and troubling feelings that they find it hard to control.

It may be difficult to maintain a  positive outlook or to maintain positive relationships. 

There are a million reasons why we might experience mental health difficulties. All of them are valid, they matter, and deserve support.

When we’re experiencing  mental health difficulties, whether fleeting or over a longer time, it can be difficult to know where to turn or how to seek support. We’re all at different stages: some of us may not be ready to acknowledge we’re struggling, while others may be ready to seek help but not know where to look..

Qwell helps you improve your mental health and wellbeing

Whenever you're struggling, it's important to remember that mental health and wellbeing help is available

We’re all different and have different life experiences. There is no single solution for improving your mental health and wellbeing, so it’s important to consider a range of options. 

You may find talking to a friend or family member helps. You may find engaging in activities that encourage you to stay in the moment – often called mindfulness, such as art, music or physical activity helps, too.

And you may find counselling or speaking to your GP is useful. 

Many people around the UK find Qwell is an effective place to go for mental health and wellbeing support. Qwell is a digital platform designed to offer support in different ways to suit all kinds of different needs.

For example, we have a friendly team of professional mental health and wellbeing practitioners. You can talk to us about anything that’s on your mind.

Some people find sharing with others really beneficial, so we created a forum for sharing experiences and inspiration. Everything on the site is reviewed before it’s posted to ensure complete safety

Qwell also has activities, resources and all kinds of content such as articles, podcasts and videos you can lean on whenever you need. So, whether you could use a podcast on relaxation and easing anxiety, a live chat session with a trained professional, or some inspirational articles, Qwell has something to help.

Join Qwell for free today and take the first step towards improving your mental health and wellbeing.
