Mental Health Awareness Week

10-16 May 2021 is Mental Health Awareness Week.

Organised by the Mental Health Foundation, it is a chance for us all to talk about mental health, share ideas and help each other to make better mental health a reality for all.

This year's theme is Nature. Research by the Mental Health Foundation on the mental health impacts of the pandemic showed that going for walks in nature was a key coping strategy for many, and that 45% of us said being in green spaces had been vital for our mental health. Watch their video to find out more.
