Mental Health Awareness Week
May 12 – May 19
Mental Health Awareness Week, held annually in the UK during May, is a national event organized by the Mental Health Foundation to promote understanding of mental health and well-being. Each year focuses on a specific theme, such as anxiety, kindness, or loneliness, to spark conversations and reduce stigma surrounding mental health issues. The week includes activities like educational campaigns, workshops, and community events to encourage open dialogue, support mental health initiatives, and provide resources for individuals and organizations. It aims to empower people to prioritize their mental health and support others in doing the same.
