Mental Health

Everyone has mental health. Admitting to mental health issues can be difficult. Asking for help can feel even harder.

The NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Talking Therapy team can work with anyone aged 16 or over registered with a Cornish GP and is experiencing low mood and depression.
