New online counselling services for those dealing with stress, depression and anxiety are now available for Manx residents.

The first - called Kooth - will offer support for those aged between 11 and 17 whilst the other - called Qwell - will be available to adults aged 18 and over.

Both services - which are free of charge - were announced by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) this week.

They can be used on mobile, tablet and desktop devices - with more information on the DHSC Facebook page.
