Mental Health Awareness Week 2025

Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 takes place from 12 to 18 May, and this year's theme is “Community”. Led by the Mental Health Foundation, the week highlights how strong, supportive communities are essential for our mental wellbeing.

Why Community Matters

Being part of a positive community provides us with a sense of belonging, safety, and purpose. Research shows that people who are more socially connected to family, friends, or their community are happier, physically healthier, and live longer, with fewer mental health problems than people who are less well connected.

How to Get Involved

Here are some ways you can participate:

Wear It Green Day: Organise a Wear It Green Day at your school, workplace, or community to raise awareness and funds for mental health.

Share Your Story: Use the hashtag #ThisIsMyCommunity on social media to highlight the communities that support your mental health.

Host Events: Organise community activities like tea and talk sessions, workshops, or social gatherings to foster connection.
