National coronavirus restrictions, meaning we are must stay at home as much as possible, are now in effect.
These measures are in place to stop the spread of coronavirus and to protect our communities. However, we know that lockdown had a major impact on mental health and the return to stricter measures will effect people's daily lives and, for many, will be detrimental to their mental health.
Greater Manchester health and care providers and the voluntary sector have stepped up support for people with mental health needs, learning disabilities and autism during the COVID-19 crisis.
