Welcome
A very warm welcome to the Southampton
2023 edition of Mental Health Awareness, an
independent magazine which brings the issue
of Mental Health directly to the general public.
Our objective is to provide educational and
informative content which will raise the profile
of Mental Health issues across the local
community.
There are many different types of Mental
Health disorders that can affect anybody
at any stage in their lives. If you or a family
member or friend have been diagnosed with
a mental health problem you might be looking
for information on your diagnosis, treatment
options and where to go for support. We
provide an important list of useful first point
contact information which can be used to get
help for varying mental health issues (pages
22 - 25).
In addition, our magazines give a vital platform
to various local mental health organisations
and volunteer groups to highlight the wide
range of support services that are available to
those who may need them.
In this edition we highlight the Alzheimer’s
Society (pages 38 and 39), a registered
charity who provide support, information
and practical guidance to anyone affected by
dementia . They believe passionately that life
doesn’t end when dementia begins and they
do everything they can to keep people with
dementia connected to their lives and the
people who matter most.
We also feature MIND Solent (pages 14 and
15), who work to ensure that no-one faces
a mental health problem alone. They aim to
equip people with the tools they need to work
towards positive wellbeing.
