From 9th-15th May, it is Mental Health Awareness week.
This years theme is ‘Loneliness’.
The www.mentalhealth.org.uk website states that

‘One in four adults feel lonely some or all of the time.’
They go on to say that there’s no single cause and there’s no one solution as we are all different! But, the longer we feel lonely, the more we are at risk of mental health problems. Some people are also at higher risk of feeling lonely than others.

If you are feeling lonely, they have a help and advice page on their website that you can find by following this link:
