This year has been hard for everybody, and as the festive season draws closer, we want to remind everyone that it’s okay not to be okay, but to remember that you are not alone in whatever you may be feeling.
The Not Alone This Christmas campaign is encouraging Norfolk residents to let their friends and family know that they have support if they need it.
To help you reach out to those that you think might be struggling, you can send the Not Alone This Christmas card. The card has been inserted into today’s Eastern Daily Press and Norwich Evening News, and contains advice and contact details for support services, as well as space for a personal message.

People are being urged to help spread a little extra joy this Christmas as part of a mental health campaign.
Earlier this month, this paper relaunched the Not Alone initiative to remind people across Norfolk and Waveney that they do not have to suffer in silence this year.
The campaign is being run by Norfolk County Council (NCC), the Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust, Norfolk and Waveney Mind and the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), in conjunction with the EDP and Norwich Evening News.
And as part of this people are being encouraged to send a card to someone to show others they are in their thoughts, which also signposts them to a range of services that can give them extra help.
