We all go through tough times. Knowing where to get support or how to help someone get support can depend on how things are affecting you or those you are supporting.
There are a number of services that you can access or self-refer to (self-refer means you do not need to have been referred by your GP or medical professional to use the service).
Below, you will find information on local support and services, you can also find further information at Mental health support | Kirklees Council
You can also contact your GP who will be able to provide advice on how to deal with your symptoms and talk to you about available treatments and support services that are available locally.
