January can be a difficult time for us all.
In addition to the cost of living crisis, post-Christmas can put a lot of pressure on our finances, which in turn can take a toll on our mental wellbeing.
It’s really important that you take time for yourself this January. Self-care can be taking a step back, spending time alone, making time to do things you enjoy, setting boundaries or asking for help. If you are struggling this January, there are a number of support services you can call including:
- Merseycare – 0800 145 6570 (urgent support for people age 16+)
- Kooth Liverpool – 0151 293 3577 (support for young people age 10-25)
- Samaritans – 116 123
- CALM – 0800 58 58 58
If you are struggling with money, rent payments, food, clothing or anything else, our team are here to help on 0330 303 2222.
Was there someone missing from your Christmas celebrations? Has someone gone quiet or distanced themselves since the new year?
#BlueMonday is also a great opportunity to check in with others. If you are concerned about someone you know, you can also find lots of useful advice and information over on Samaritans’ website.
