This year, Mental Health Awareness Week will take place from 12 to 18 May 2025. The theme for 2025 is 'Community', and we want to use Mental Health Awareness Week to celebrate the power and importance of 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.Mental health is more than just a small part of our lives.
It’s connected to every little thing we do, every place we go and every person around us. Mental health is our physical health, our finances, our relationships. It’s part of our defining moments and the day to day.
Despite this, a recent Mind survey found public attitudes and understanding of mental health have started to go backwards. The mental health system is broken and people facing other challenges like poverty and racism have the least access to support.
Our decision makers aren't doing enough to prioritise mental health alongside the other big issues in society.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, help us make sure no mind gets left behind.
