Call You & Yours: How are you taking care of your mental health?

Everyone has been affected in one way or another by the coronavirus lockdown. How have you been looking after your mental health during it?

Call You & Yours asks how are you taking care of your mental health? 

Email youandyours@bbc.co.uk or call 03700 100 444 after 11am on Tuesday 23rd June. 

The coronavirus lockdown has changed so much about our lives, and there are warning signs that people's mental health is under pressure. A survey from Nuffield Health suggests around 80% of British people working from home feel lockdown has had a negative impact on their mental health, while a study from the Office of National Statistics showed 39% of people who are married or in a civil partnership now reporting high levels of anxiety, compared with 19% before the pandemic. Worryingly, a report from The Childhood Trust warns the pandemic is having a significant impact on children's mental health, leaving those who are disadvantaged extremely vulnerable. 

So what can be done to help? 

Today we want to hear what you are doing to take care of your mental health and those of others around you. 

Whether you have a diagnosed mental illness, or if you are concerned about the pressures you are under, what are you doing to take care of your mental health?
