As January brings a fresh start to the year, it’s common to feel a bit blue.
Lanarkshire Mind Matters, a comprehensive online resource developed by NHS Lanarkshire’s Psychological Services, is ready to support Lanarkshire residents with mental health information, advice and help.
The online resource aims to improve psychological wellbeing and to make a positive difference to people’s lives.
Dr Simon Stuart, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Digital Lead for Psychological Services, said: “It can be common to feel a bit blue in January.
“Lanarkshire Mind Matters can help. It has high-quality online mental health resources and support that can help make a positive impact on your wellbeing.”
The website serves as a hub for high-quality mental health self-help resources, providing individuals with the tools to help navigate their mental health journey. Lanarkshire Mind Matters offers swift access to various evidence-based programs, including computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT).
Dr Stuart added: “For those struggling with anxiety and insomnia, Lanarkshire Mind Matters offers “Daylight” and “Sleepio,” two personalized online programs providing expert assistance.
“Designed for both day and night, these programs aim to offer tailored support for anxiety, worry, and sleep-related issues.
“Daylight provides a tailored program for managing anxiety, based on your own needs, and keeps you on track with bite-size suggestions and check-ins.
“Sleepio offers a personalised program to help overcome insomnia. Produced by an expert team with decades of experience in sleep research, it brings tried-and-tested techniques directly to you in a friendly, step-by-step way.
