Mental Health Awareness week 2026

All this week is Mental Health Awareness week, and this year's theme is 'action'.

Awareness of course, is vital, but to bring about real change we need to take action too. We’ve come a long way on mental health, but we can’t risk going backwards. There’s still much we can do to prevent people becoming unwell in the first place. 

For yourself

For someone else

For all of us

The Mental Health Foundation have a range of resources to help you and your organisation or school/college get involved in supporting this wonderful awareness campaign.

Do health and social care services know what you really think?

Share your ideas and experiences and help services hear what works, what doesn’t, and what you want from care in the future.
