Staying healthy

Use this guide to help you understand your health needs and what you can do to keep yourself healthy and fit.

Managing stress and anxiety

For most of us, there are times in our lives when we feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or find it difficult to cope.

Unfortunately, trying to build up your independence may put you in a situation where these feelings can start to become a barrier to your success.

So, it is important to know where you can go for support beyond that of your parents or carers:

  • Reading Well Books on Prescription – a scheme from Lambeth libraries offering a range of self-help books that are recommended by health professionals.
  • Lambeth and Southwark Mind - offer services including supported housing, crisis helplines, drop-in centres, employment and training schemes, counselling and befriending.
