FOLLOWING former Love Island host Caroline Flack’s death at the weekend, getting help for any mental health issues seems to have come to the fore.

Here are a few names and numbers for groups in the Bradford district which help people with mental problems.

YOUR GP

They should be able to refer you to other services and may be a useful first port of call.

MYWELLBEING COLLEGE 

It is a free NHS service to help people manage everyday problems such as feeling low, having problems sleeping, feeling anxious and experiencing stress.

People can register for online courses by calling 0300 555 5551 (9am-5pm, Monday to Friday) or at mywellbeingcollege.nhs.uk without having to be referred by a GP. 

If you register online, one of the team will give you a call back at a time that is convenient to you for a 30 minute registration call. One of the advisers will discuss which course will be best option for you and will enrol you on the course.
