Information, advice and signposting to local services.

If you'd rather start small

Try a five-minute check-in.

1. Name the feeling out loud, no judgement.

2. Move — a walk round the block counts.

3. Message one person you trust. Anything. "Hey."

4. If it's heavier than that, scroll up. Pick a number.

Looking out for someone else?

How to start the conversation.

Ask twice. "How are you, really?"

Listen without fixing. Silence is fine.

Offer something specific — a walk, a coffee, a Tuesday.

Send them this page. Quietly.
