Mental Health Awareness Week: 11-17 May 2026

The Mental Health Foundation  organises Mental Health Awareness Week each year. In 2026, the theme is Action because “while awareness is vital, real change comes when we take action too.” 

This is something that we wholeheartedly agree with and is why we work collaboratively with organisations of any size to create a culture of prevention. We recommend that organisations educate, train and support all employees (whether directly employed, or working under contract) across the whole workforce to ensure everyone has the skills, clarity and confidence on how to raise awareness, improve understanding, implement effective interventions, end the stigma of mental ill-health, and to ensure there is a continuous and comprehensive solution in place so that no-one reaches crisis point and mental health awareness becomes everyone’s responsibility.
