Your Mental Health
There are a few points we recommend taking before you travel if you have any concerns about your mental health:
Check your insurance covers any pre-existing medical conditions or purchase specialist cover
Consider who you would contact if you need help
Ensure you pack anything needed to maintain good mental wellbeing – any medication or home comforts.
Check for further guidance on the government’s website

Staying hydrated and eating well

Stay in touch and talk to family and friends
