The month of January can feel particularly tough: back to routines after the novelty of Christmas, financial pressures and weather conditions (just to name a few challenges we may experience) however it's important to know that you are not alone if you are struggling. π«
So let's use Blue Monday as a reminder to focus on our mental health and to reach out if we need support. π
