Reading things through can help to make sense of it, can help to answer questions but can also create questions, we are here to help answer those questions.”



LRSN have partnered with the NHS to provide a series of self-help guides covering a wide range of topics such as depression, anxiety and stress, which offer users the opportunity to find out more about the causes of mental health issues and provide tools to work through feelings and emotions.
Our self-help guides contain verified information and are written by NHS Clinical Psychologists with contributions from service users, healthcare and voluntary sector staff.
