Mental health affects us all – and no one should face it alone. In the UK, 1 in 4 adults experience a diagnosable mental health condition each year, but only 1 in 3 receive the treatment they need.
At Step One, we believe no one should be left to face mental illness without support. With your monthly gift, you can help change this, starting here in Devon.
Your regular donation provides life changing support to those who need it most, one step at a time.

Your Nervous System at Work
When we think about stress at work, we often focus on external things, tight deadlines, a tough manager, endless meetings. But what if we zoomed in a little closer, inside our own bodies? Understanding our nervous systems can be a game-changer, not just for our wellbeing, but for how we relate to ourselves and others at work.
