It’s important to raise awareness about mental health to the public and ensure communities recognise the part everyone has to play in building a society that advocates for mental health. With the correct support, together we can help people live lives of fulfilment and free of stigma, and that starts by raising awareness about mental health.
The theme of the 2022 Mental Health Awareness Week is 'Loneliness'. Loneliness is affecting more and more of us in the UK and has had huge affects on our physical and mental health, especially since the pandemic.
Reducing loneliness is a major step towards creating a healthier society, so the theme for this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is aimed at raising awareness of the impact of loneliness on our mental wellbeing and the practical steps we can take to address it.
