Mental health awareness has never been more important. In this time of unprecedented change, working from home, isolation, home schooling, health concerns, financial uncertainties and an overwhelming feeling of uncertainty all take their toll on our mental health and wellbeing.

One in four. Of all the statistics about mental health you’re likely to hear, this is perhaps the most common. It’s the troubling fact that 1 in 4 of us will experience a Common Mental Disorder (CMD) at some point in our lives (NHS, 2014). That’s a quarter of the people you know at work. A quarter of your family. A quarter of… everyone.
