Mental Health Awareness Week - May 2024

Mental Health Awareness Week is an annual event when there is an opportunity for the whole of the UK to focus on achieving good mental health.

Mental Health Awareness Week 2024
Theme - 'Movement: moving for our mental health.'
13th - 19th May

Movement is important for our mental health. But so many of us struggle to move enough. We know there are many different reasons for this, so this Mental Health Awareness Week we want to help people to find moments for movement in their daily routines. Going for a walk in your neighbourhood, putting on your favourite music and dancing around the living room, chair exercises when you’re watching television – it all counts! http://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/mhaw
