Rural Youth Europe

Take Time this Mental Health Awareness Week to understand that mental health matters as much as physical health. We want to help members recognise that the changes and disruption that the coronavirus pandemic brings will be influencing your wellbeing. Throughout this week members of the Youth Forum will be sharing advice and tips on social media on ways you can look after your mental health. Every day a different member of the Youth Forum will be taking over our social media channels – check out Instagram Stories and Twitter – and sharing what they are doing to improve their mental wellbeing. We have also created an online resource, sponsored by Tama - Farm Grown Solutions, to help you Take Time and look after ‘you’ during these challenging times. http://nfyfc.org.uk/TakeTime/TakeTime We want you to share your stories too – use the hashtag #YFCTakeTime and let’s open up the conversation about what life is really like for everyone right now. If you need urgent help, please seek immediate expert advice and assessment. Call your GP, ring the Samaritans on 116 123 or the Farming Help number on 03000 111 999.
