LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF
These are worrying and uncertain times. The coronavirus outbreak has changed the festive period for many people in Scotland and has had a real impact on how many of us are feeling.
Whether you have been directly affected by the virus, or are struggling to cope with the restrictions, it is important to look after both your physical and mental health. Visit www.clearyourhead.scot for practical advice on how to look after your mental wellbeing, and sources of support if you need to talk to someone.
