Champions parade incident: Mental health support available

A variety of free resources are available for supporters to access to care for their mental health.

Help and support is available via:

Liverpool City Council’s director of public health, Professor Matt Ashton, said: “We know that lots of people will have been affected following the awful events on Monday evening, including those who were working, had attended the champions parade as a spectator or had loved ones present.

“Difficult or traumatic events affect everyone differently; some people may be feeling things now, or it could occur in the coming hours, days or weeks. Regardless of when something happens, it’s vital that you make use of the support available to you and speak to those around you.”

Local GPs can also help with mental health and wellbeing. Plus, there is more information on Kind to your Mind Liverpool, which is managed by the council’s public health team, together with the NHS.

It has some hints and tips on how to look after mental health, particularly after experiencing trauma, including:

Give yourself time…

Talk about it…

Ask for support…

Stick to your routine…
