World Mental Health Day 10 October

The World Health Organisation recognises World Mental Health Day on 10 October every year. This year’s theme is ‘Mental Health for All’.

‘Tea and talk’ https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/get-involved/tea-and-talk is a great way to come together, especially during these difficult times. Have a virtual cuppa with friends, family and colleagues and raise awareness for the Mental Health Foundation.

This year’s World Mental Health Day, on 10 October, comes at a time when our daily lives have changed considerably as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The past months have brought many challenges for all of us but, in particular, for people with mental health conditions, many of whom are experiencing even greater social isolation than before.

The Big Event for Mental Health https://www.who.int/news-room/events/detail/2020/10/10/default-calendar/the-big-event-for-mental-health features world leaders, mental health experts and celebrity guests and the WHO Director-General to tell the world what we can all do to improve our mental health and how we can help make sure that quality mental health care is available to everyone who needs it.
