What is Self - Help ?
A question I get asked a lot, and the answer is quite conclusive
if you have a look at this link from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation

Music Therapy.
I have always been a great advocate on the benefits of music in general, let alone using music as a stand alone Therapy in Mental Health. I can always remember the first time I heard a particular song or piece of music/where I was/who I was with etc etc.... So music helps me remember things as well as making me 'feel good' about the emotions it brings to the surface !
Here is my recent favourite song, and I haven't grown tired of it despite hearing it most days since it's release ....
.Walking.
There are lots of walking/rambling clubs that cater for all levels of walking.
Buxton Rambling Club is the local one for this area and they have a website ~

Walking is a cost effective way to exercise and be socially inclusive at the same time.
