Good mental health and wellbeing are key to a happy and healthy life.  Yet according to the mental health charity Mind, 1 in 4 adults in the UK will be faced with poor mental health at some point in their lives. If you or someone that you know needs help with their mental health there are a number of supportive organisations, some of which can offer support in the initial stages through your phone or personal device:
