Welsh Ambulance Service Mental Health Support

Did you know that in the last week, 1 in 6 of us will have been affected by poor mental health? Often, the fear of stigma stops us from seeking help or reaching out. The fear of stigma particularly affects veterans and up to 71% of military personnel who experience poor mental health don’t seek professional help when they need it.

In order to support those with mental health issues, the Welsh Ambulance Service has created a new Mental Health Leaflet: You are not alone. The leaflet provides a huge range of Mental Health Support Helplines, many of which are free to contact and are available 24/7.

Mental Health Support

If you’re worried about a friend or family member, or you’re looking for Mental Health support for yourself, these helplines & websites can provide you with expert help and advice.

The ‘You are not alone’ leaflet has been created in partnership with the Welsh Ambulance Service, Interlink RCT and Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil and with Service User Representatives from the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board Together for the Mental Health Partnership Board. You are not alone is available in both English & Welsh and available to download below.

Don’t forget, if you’re looking for Mental Health support, here at Woody’s Lodge, we can also help you to get NHS and health referrals in place. We can also help you to contact any of the helplines and websites from this leaflet. We run Veteran Support Drop-in Centres across Wales, please pop in to see us if you need support.
