If you think you or someone you know may be at immediate risk of harming themselves, phone 999 or go to A&E.
While walking in the mountains and being in nature can help you manage your mental health and wellbeing, if you are struggling to manage your thoughts and feelings it’s important you reach out and tell someone. There are lots of sources of support and treatments available.
