This year, Mental Health Awareness Week will take place from 12 to 18 May 2025.

The theme for 2025 is 'Community'.

 

Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. We thrive when we have strong connections with other people and supportive communities that remind us, we are not alone. Communities can provide a sense of belonging, safety, support in hard times, and give us a sense purpose.

The Foundations says;


"We want to use Mental Health Awareness Week to celebrate the power and importance of community.


"Find out why we chose the theme 'Community', and why community is important for our mental health."

The Mental Health Foundation will be providing expert information and guidance on how community supports good mental health, providing ideas for how to cultivate mentally healthy communities, sharing inspiring stories from communities across the UK, and encouraging people and organisations to get involved with activities and events.
