People in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes (BLMK) are being offered a series of free wellbeing webinars to help support their mental health. They are run in partnership by Bedfordshire Wellbeing Service, Total Wellbeing Luton and Milton Keynes Talking Therapies Service.

They are open to anyone living in the BLMK area or working in the health and care sector.

The webinars, which have been accessed by more than 600 people so far, offer support on a range of topics including:

  • Men’s Mental Health
  • Stress Management
  • Managing Anxiety
  • Support during Pregnancy

Dr Roshan Jayalath, GP and clinical lead for mental health in BLMK, said:

“As a GP, I know that people have been struggling throughout this pandemic and that mental health is as important as ever right now. It is extremely important that people get the help and support that they need as quickly as possible.

“This is why our local mental health teams have created this resource of webinars to ensure that people can access mental health support as easily as possible from their phone or computer at home.

“However please remember, if you feel like you are struggling with your mental health, it is very important that you talk to someone. You can call NHS 111, or speak to a trained medical professional who can advise on where you can get the right medical help.”
