Embracing the new normal

We all need to look after our mental health to help us live our best life during challenging times.

It has been suggested that there are five steps we can all take to improve our mental wellbeing:

  1. Connect with others
  2. Take regular physical activity
  3. Keep learning new skills
  4. Give to others
  5. Be mindful and aware of your own and others' feelings
