For many, a winter lockdown or a change in restrictions brings with it a new set of emotions that might not have been felt before. As we move through the stages of the pandemic, it's perhaps never been as important to remember the things that have got you through before...
As part of our 'Let's Talk with Strong Young Minds' series, we want to share with you important information on how you can support your own mental health & wellbeing, especially through times of uncertainty and change!

At a time when protecting our mental health has perhaps never been greater, it's important to know the facts when it comes to drinking and find new ways to manage your consumption.
There are plenty of resources out there to help you keep track and minimise your alcohol consumption - there's nothing to be ashamed of; lots of people struggle with alcohol at some point in their lives...
If you're worried about your alcohol use, it can help to talk to someone you trust about it - you can also find lots of reliable information online about ways to manage and places to find support - the Alcohol Change UK website is a great place to start!
