Mental Health Awareness Week 15-21 May 2023

Yes, Mental Health Awareness Week begins today, from the website:

Anxiety is the theme of Mental Health Awareness Week 2023

Anxiety is a normal emotion in us all, but sometimes it can get out of control and become a mental health problem.

Lots of things can lead to feelings of anxiety, including exam pressures, relationships, starting a new job (or losing one) or other big life events. We can also get anxious when it comes to things to do with money and not being able to meet our basic needs, like heating our home or buying food. But anxiety can be made easier to manage.

Focusing on anxiety for this year's Mental Health Awareness Week will increase people's awareness and understanding of anxiety by providing information on the things that can help prevent it from becoming a problem. At the same time, we will keep up the pressure to demand change - making sure that improving mental health is a key priority for the government and society as a whole. 

Stay safe folks, and read more at the website.

World Mental Health Day for 2019 is tomorrow, the 10th of October (website), with the emphasis this year on 'suicide prevention.' This is supported by appropriate organisations and charities in Britain, of course, including Mind (website) and the Mental Health Foundation (website) who also have an additional theme of 'supporting good mental health in the workplace.'
