Your mental wellbeing matters
Mental wellbeing is an important part of all our lives. Good physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing often go hand in hand. When we look after our physical health, it often helps our mental health too - and the other way around.
We all go through difficult times when our mental wellbeing might not always be at its best. We might notice that we feel more anxious, stressed or on edge at times.
It's normal to not always feel OK, but if how you feel is beginning to affect your everyday life then getting support can help you feel more like yourself again.
How our services can improve mental wellbeing
At Live Life Better Derbyshire, we take time to understand what’s important to you.
We’re here to support your mental wellbeing by helping you look after your physical health and linking you to other services, like mental health support, that can help you feel more emotionally well.
When you join our Live Life Better Derbyshire service, our Health Improvement Workers can work with you on a one-to-one basis. They can help you find services to help improve how you are feeling. We know that asking for help can feel like a big step, that’s why we take everything at a pace to suit you.
