Let's chat about mental wellbeing this World Mental Health Day 2020.
 
According to research including over 16,000 people from the charity MIND, more than half of adults and over two thirds of young people said their mental health got worse during lockdown. 

But what if you're living with sight loss? 

We spoke with Dr. Mhairi Thurston, Senior Lecturer in Counselling at Abertay University about her work linking sight loss to mental health and why we shouldn't feel embarrassed about seeking help.

And remember, if you need someone who understands sight loss, RNIB are here for you. Simply call the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or alternatively email: helpline@rnib.org.uk
