As carers, we often spend so much time supporting others that we forget to look after ourselves. If you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, isolated or simply need someone to talk to, there are a range of free and low-cost wellbeing services available across Wiltshire.
☕ Wellbeing Cafés run by Rethink Mental Illness offer a friendly, welcoming space for anyone feeling lonely, isolated or anxious. No referral is needed, just drop in for a chat and a cuppa.
🧠 Wiltshire Talking Therapies provides NHS support for anxiety, stress, low mood and depression, with self-referral available online.
🌱 Recovery College Workshops and Cafés offer free courses on topics including anxiety, ADHD, better sleep, resilience and self-kindness, helping people develop practical tools to support their wellbeing.
🤝 Wiltshire Mind offers counselling, wellbeing activities and support groups across the county, while Alabaré Access Community Mental Health Support can help people find the right services and build coping strategies for long-term wellbeing.
🌿 Looking for something different? The Men's Wellbeing Programme from Wiltshire Wildlife Trust uses nature-based activities to support mental health, and TWIGS Community Gardens provides therapeutic gardening opportunities for people experiencing mental health challenges.
