Mental health

Maintaining good mental health

Good mental health is important to daily life.

The first place to call if you are having difficulties maintaining good mental health is your GP.

Darlington Borough Council works in partnership with Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys (TEWV) Mental Health Trust [external link].

Your GP may refer you to TEWV. They in turn will contact the Council should you need social care involvement.

A wide social network is beneficial to mental health.

Visit Livingwell Darlington [external link] to find activities and groups near you.
