Mental Health Support

Anyone can suffer from a mental health problem, and people can and do recover from them.

Mental Health problems include but are not limited to:

• Stress
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Eating Disorders
• Dementia

Broxtowe Borough Council is dedicated to supporting those struggling with their mental health and has set up a Mental Health Working Group to develop more ways to provide that support to its employees and its residents.

What to do if you’re struggling with your mental health
