Supportive Tuesday: how to get help with a mental health concern?

Where should you turn if you are worried about your own or a close one's mental health? What help is available, and what can you do if getting an appointment with a specialist takes time? This time our guest is Laura Oisalu, a mental health nurse at the psychiatry clinic of Pärnu Hospital, who will help us better understand the options for mental health support and how to reach them.

We will talk about: when and to whom to turn (family doctor or family nurse, mental health nurse, psychologist or psychiatrist); what help is available in Pärnu; what you can do to support yourself or a loved one while waiting for a specialist appointment; and the role of self-help and healthy lifestyles in looking after mental health.

The meeting is an open discussion. Participants can ask questions and talk things through together, and you are welcome even if you just want to listen. Venue: Pärnu Vabakonna Maja, Lai 14. Time: 10 November, 17:30. Participation is free, but pre-registration is required so that we can prepare the room.
