Support for mental health care is available via the directory

A new online directory bringing together mental health services across Jersey has been launched.

The Mental Health Directory provides information about a range of services designed to support islanders' mental health and wellbeing.

It aims to help people understand what support is available, find services that meet their needs and access help for themselves or others, health officials said.

Andy Weir, managing director of the Health and Care Service, said: "Many of us need support at times. Islanders have told us that finding the right support can be difficult."

Weir added: "The new Mental Health Directory brings together information on mental health services in Jersey in one place, helping people find the support they need.

"Seeking support can be an important first step, and the directory is designed to make that step easier by helping Islanders understand what help is available and how to access it."
