Awareness is vital, but real change comes when we take action too.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, we are encouraging you to take action for good mental health - for yourself, for someone else, and for all of us.
Good mental health doesn’t come from gimmicks or unproven wellness trends, but through everyday acts of care. That includes both self-care and caring for others.
This year’s theme is Action: When greater numbers of us take action, communities of motivated people are laying the foundations for a society that prioritises good mental health. This is action at its most powerful.
