Council, alongside their Community Planning partners, had agreed as part of their Putting People First Community Plan to support any initiative that would help raise awareness of these issues which have had a devastating impact on families and our communities as a whole.

The #Here2Help Smartphone App was developed by Noel McKee at East Antrim Counselling in order that local residents can quickly access contact details for range of support services available to them within the borough.

Here2Help is a pocket guide that may be able to give you some direction or help to your situation, if you are worried about someone or if you are feeling the pressure of life. Then help is here and support is available…

Each and every one of us can feel like things are getting on top of us, but it’s important to recognise the signs that suggest what you’re feeling is becoming a problem. Maybe you’re having trouble sleeping, or you’ve lost interest in the things you usually enjoy. You might find yourself overreacting to things, or have difficulty concentrating.

All these things could be a sign of deeper problems under the surface. If you’re feeling like this, the right support can help recovery and help you to regain a positive outlook on life.

If you’re looking for advice on how to stay on top of tough times, or if you’re concerned about yourself, concerned about others or just want to be aware of the issue of mental health, then this App is for you.
