YOU CAN SPREAD THE VIRUS EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE SYMPTOMS

We have had the following information through from the NHS as part of a nationwide initiative called 'Improving Access to Psychological Therapies' :
Throughout this difficult time, it’s natural to be feeling unsure, concerned about the future and cut off from others. We are here to help, offering support by telephone, video call, instant messaging and webinar.
We offer a range of courses, talking therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy,counselling for depression, interpersonal therapy and couples counselling, and access to online social events to help us feel connected. Our social events are based around the ‘5 ways to wellbeing’ and range from quiz nights to gardening. We also have a variety of regular online webinars which focus on ways to look after your mental health during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Should you wish to talk to one of us directly, you can self-refer for a telephone assessment. More information about this can be found here. The Wellbeing Service is an NHS IAPT service which offers a range of psychological therapies to help and supportpeople to manage stress, low mood and anxiety, whatever the cause.

NORFOLK YOUNG CARERS
We'd like to let you know that a new campaign has been launched aimed at Norfolk's young carers. Led by Norfolk Safeguarding Childrens Partnership and supported by carers organisations Carers Matter Norfolk and Caring Together, Heroes at Home recognises the vital role young carers play in supporting their loved ones at home and highlights the range of support available to help them. It is estimated that in Norfolk over 11000 children and young people from as young as 5 are cares, helping to look after or support a family member or friend who is ill, disabled or misuses drugs or alcohol. This figure is likely to be higher as many children do not identify themselves as a carer but may still fulfil a regular caring role for a family member.
For support and advice or a live chat online visit www.youngcarersmatternorfolk.org or call the Carers Matter Norfolk advice line on 0800 083 1148. This helpline is still available during the coronavirus pandemic.

KEEP SAFE AND WELL
