What is Headroom?
Life is full of ups and downs, so the BBC has created Headroom, a campaign to help you cope with the everyday stresses and strains of life and provide a safe place to start finding answers to more complex problems.
How do you feel?
Make the most of the Headroom website to explore how you feel. Check into MoodSpa and find out how your lifestyle could be affecting your wellbeing. You can also express yourself with easy-to-make animations using MoodScape. Get started on your very own Moodscape now.
Need help?
You can watch our series of short Wellbeing videos covering stress, dealing with loss, anxiety and depression, as well as tips on personal happiness. You can also download helpful guides and factsheets in our downloads section. And in Ruby's Room, Ruby Wax tackles a range of different mental health issues, with the people experiencing them.
