How to use the Guide

We all need support sometimes, and this website is here to help.

We’ve tried to make the site easy to search and use. Check out our accessibility pages for more information or provide us with some feedback; we’d love to hear from you!

If you aren’t sure what you need, do feel free to get in touch.

 

I Need Support

If you need mental health support:

• Search for specific support using the mental health guide. This includes, local, national, and online support and services.
• We have information on specific conditions with additional links for further support or advice.
• Check out our stories on the Sheffield Flourish website, written by people who may be going through similar experiences as you.
• If you are really struggling, or feel you are in crisis, we have information and advice in our urgent help section.

If you are looking for advice that isn’t specific to mental health:

• Search through the information page. Here you can read about specific topics like debt, caring responsibilities and stress.
• We’ve also got information on wellbeing. This may help you think about the small changes you can make to your life that could make a big difference.
• If you have any queries with your physical health, find information on the NHS Choices, contact your GP, ring 111, or if it is an emergency, call 999.
