Get support

Welcome to Get Support!

You’ll visit a doctor about health matters – physical or mental – illnesses, or injuries. You might end up in A&E from accidents, injuries, serious illnesses. If you’re unwell, eg. the common cold, minor injuries, aches and pains, you’ll self-medicate, visit a pharmacy and take care. You’ll manage ongoing conditions such as hay fever, asthma, allergies or a disability. You take care of your physical health but…..

What do you do to actively take care of your mental health?

We can be OK and the unexpected happens. For example, your assessment doesn’t go well; there’s things going on in your personal life; you receive mean social media posts, you’re diagnosed with medical condition(s) and the ripple effect of life’s events.

We can draw on our resilience, try making sense of why and what’s happened, process and work through it and recover. However, that can be challenging, and exhausting, especially over time and if we’re ‘going it alone’. Being honest with ourselves when we need, want or would like help and support, is a huge and courageous step forward. Yet, disclosing can be the next hurdle, regardless of who too. So finding appropriate support that works for us, can be another challenge especially if we value our privacy.

Reynolds Training Academy’s well-being resource is for everyone at RTA. It can help find a way forward rather than getting stuck, or ‘suffering in silence’ whilst maintaining privacy too if that’s a concern.

For starters you could check out our Self-Help Zone.

However, should you need immediate help and support, there’s always your tutor, and of course your GP. Or check out Further Support for help if you need it.
