World Mental Health Day 2024

On World Mental Health Day, let’s all come together to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters.

Talking about our mental health can help us cope better with life’s ups and downs. So, on World Mental Health Day and beyond it, why not check in with your friends, family, peers, or colleagues?

World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on 10 October. This year’s theme set by the World Federation of Mental Health is workplace mental health. The theme highlights the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, for the benefit of people, organisations, and communities.

There’s plenty of evidence that taking part in physical activity can have a profound and positive impact on mental wellbeing.

Being physically active can improve mood, decrease the chance of depression and anxiety and lead to a better and more balanced lifestyle.

Mental health awareness involves understanding the importance of mental health and well-being and the impact it can have on the quality of life.

Mental health awareness reduces stigma, promotes empathy, and encourages open conversations about mental health.
