Links for Mental Health Support

Finding mental health support can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating services in different countries. To make it easier, I’ve gathered a list of online mental health resources available in the UK and France. Each entry includes a short description and direct link, so you can quickly connect with information, support networks, and professional services.
