At The City Baths, we are huge advocates of mental health and champion exercise not only for its physical benefits, but because of the positive impact in can have on mental wellbeing too.  

Last week marked Mental Health Awareness Week and its always incredible to see the conversations taking place online – from The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Mental Health Minute takeover, to the simple words of encouragement between friends.

And while it certainly brings much-important awareness to the topic and sparks discussions, we believe mental health shouldn’t be a taboo subject. It’s something that should be taken just as seriously as our physical health, and spoken about on a regular basis.

With that in mind (no pun intended), we’ve rounded up some of the very best resources from around the web so you can access help and support, should you need it.
