The Calming Minds Project
Support resources
Dealing with daily stressors such as overthinking, worrying, rumination, or other mental health issues can be challenging. Making changes to how you think, feel, eat, and sleep, and finding the right support, can be really helpful in managing these challenges.
We’ve put together a list of useful links and numbers to help you find the mental health support services you need, when you need them. Check out the resources on this page to find the proper support for your journey towards a calmer, healthier mind.
Remember, you’re not alone. Reaching out is a crucial first step towards better mental health and well-being. Your mental health and well-being matter and help is always available.
