World Mental Health Day: Time to Make Wellbeing a Global Priority
Every year on 10 October, the world comes together for World Mental Health Day. Since 1992, this day has been a powerful reminder to raise awareness and smash the stigma around mental health struggles. This year’s punchy theme is ‘Make mental health & wellbeing a global priority for all’.
Wear Green to Show You Care
Ready to back the cause? People across the UK are sporting green ribbons – the international symbol for mental health awareness. Snap yours on and jump on social media with the hashtag #pinitformentalhealth to shout out your support loud and clear.
Start Conversations, Save Lives
It’s more than just a ribbon. Spread the word to help crush the shame around mental health. Offer a listening ear to friends and family. Open up conversations that matter. And if you’re feeling generous, donate to charities like the Mental Health Foundation that fight on the front lines against mental health issues.
Why Talking Matters
World Mental Health Day is your cue to speak up about mental wellbeing. It’s a call to understand why looking after your mind is just as crucial as your body. And if you’re struggling, remember, help is out there – all you have to do is ask.
