Ease Your Mind

Ease Your Mind is a project that started in 2018, we've produced an Ease Your Mind handbook which is full of tips and useful information and fun activities to help you on the path to feeling better. Browse the book below to have a look through the pages, or you can download a copy of our Ease Your Mind book or visit our Advice Centre to take one home! The booklet is not intended as a sole resource for anyone experiencing significant mental illness. If you believe you are suffering a mental illness, we strongly urge you to see professional assistance. The Ease Your Mind booklet is not a replacement for professional treatment.
