Mental Health Awareness Week 2022
Mental Health Awareness Week 2022
Mental Health Awareness Week – Monday 9 – Sunday 15 May 2022
Mental Health Awareness Week gives us the chance to create even more awareness of mental health, to talk openly about mental health issues to help break down the stigma, and to promote services and resources that are there for those who are facing a crisis.
This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week runs from Monday 9 – Sunday 15 May 2022, and the theme this year is loneliness. Many of us have experienced loneliness during the pandemic, and it can have a huge impact on our physical and mental health.
Fight for Mental Health
This Mental Health Awareness Week is your chance speak out, to spread the word and make change happen.
How you can help
Look out for those around you – if someone you know is struggling with a mental health issue, whether it’s stress or anxiety, depression or loneliness, reach out to them. Talk to them and ask questions about how they’re feeling. Encourage them to seek support from Community Living Well or Kensington & Chelsea Mind.
Share why you’re fighting for mental health – use your social media platforms to share articles or highlight the work of mental health organisations. Signpost people to resources or places they can contact if they need support, such as Mind or Samaritans.
Donate – you could make a donation or do some fundraising for us so that we can continue to support and develop our services for people in Kensington and Chelsea. Nobody should face a mental health problem alone and with your help, we can be there for people who need urgent and ongoing information and support.
Whatever you do, speak out and show the world why fighting for mental health is important to you.
