EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

The end of a relationship brings an emotional rollercoaster, with feelings ranging from heartbreak to hatred, and everything in between.

 

Concerns over relationships, children, housing, money and debt means that family separation is hard for everyone and it is natural to feel worried, anxious or depressed.

 

It is important to look after your emotional well-being, so that you can think clearly, make better decisions and look after your family.

 

Thankfully support for your emotional wellbeing is available.

 

Mental health support can take many forms; a lot of it focuses on Talking Therapies. Talking Therapies include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Guided Self-help, Counselling, Behavioural Activation, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), and Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT).

 

You can read more about Talking Therapies on the NHS website.

Another great source of information is the NHS website, 'Every Mind Matters' where you'll find advice on looking after your family's mental health and your own.
