World Mental Health Day 2024

World Mental Health Day is observed every year on October 10th, highlighting the significance of mental health and well-being. Coming together to have conversations about mental health is crucial as it can improve our resilience in facing life's obstacles.

The World Federation of Mental Health has selected this year's theme for World Mental Health Day as "It’s time to prioritize mental health in the workplace." This theme emphasises the importance of addressing mental health and well-being in work settings, offering benefits to individuals, organizations, and communities.

What they do

The World Federation of Mental Health are creating fundamental change in the UK’s approach to mental health by:

• Researching and developing new and more effective ways to support and protect good mental health.
• Providing everyone with evidence-backed advice and resources.
• Running national campaigns and working with local communities to nurture good mental health.
• Partnering with organisations across the UK to take the valuable lessons we’ve learned and share solutions that are proven to work.

Get involved

Last year, on World Mental Health Day, people all over the world got involved by raising awareness of mental health. Last year, Mental Health Foundation has helped thousands of people to speak up about mental health through Tea & Talk events being held across the UK.

Please show your support, if you are able to do so, by donating to the World Federation of Mental Health. Any money raised by donations goes towards the goal of helping to achieve better mental health for all.
