PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

Staying well at home

1. Stay connected
There are still lots of ways to keep in touch: pick up the phone, use WhatsApp, Zoom or Skype.
The most up-to-date and reliable sources of information are from the NHS and gov.uk

2. Keep active
There’s still plenty of ways to get moving that don’t require equipment. Try nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/10-minute-workouts
You can go for a run, walk or cycle once a day, either alone or with a member of your household.

3. Get support
Visit mentalhealthcamden.co.uk or icope.nhs.uk for resources, advice and information about protecting your mental health.
If needed, you can self-refer to Camden’s local psychology service, iCope, via the website above or by calling 020 3317 6670 (you may need to leave a message). You will then be offered an initial 30-minute telephone appointment within 2 days.

4. Switch off
Clear your head – try some free Headspace mediations
To relax and wind-down avoid using your phone or tablet close to bedtime.
It’s important to stay informed but try to limit the number of times you check the news and your social media
