Mental Health Awareness Month: Working Together To Break The Stigma

Mental Health Awareness Month

As we embrace the arrival of spring, we also recognise the importance of nurturing our mental well-being. With 1-4 adults affected by mental health struggles across the UK, mental health has never been more prevalent. The 1st- 31st of May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote mental health education and support.

Mental Health Awareness Month serves as a crucial reminder of the prevalence of mental health challenges in our society.
