managing your mental health

We all have mental health and that's why it's so important. With our tools and techniques you can try to build your resilience and wellbeing.

We all have mental health. And whether our mental health is good or bad can change on a daily basis. It’s important that we take time to manage it, however we’re feeling, in the same way that we exercise to look after our physical health.

Taking the time to look after our mental health can help to prevent chronic physical and mental health conditions, as well as building coping mechanisms for when life gets more challenging.

In this section, we’re going to take a look at why it’s important to look after our mental health, and share some tools and techniques you can try to build your mental health, wellness, and resilience.

Are your services means-tested?

If you need financial support, we carry out a means test where we consider income, expenditure, capital and assets.  

*Please note none of our other services are means-tested. 

I’m an accountant, but not a member of ICAEW, can you still help?

Unfortunately not. We only support past and present ICAEW members, their carers and their families. If we are unable to support you, where possible we will point you to help elsewhere.

caba has supported me in the past; can I receive support from caba again?

We understand that circumstances change. If we’ve helped you in the past there’s no reason why we can’t help you again. You can contact us at any time. Please call us if you need our help.
