Mental Health Awareness Week 2025: The Power of Community

This year's Mental Health Awareness week is focused on community. When we're part of a safe, supportive community, it can help us thrive. Communities can support with loneliness, help us to feel connected to others and open us up to new experiences and opportunities.

We have a range of ways for you to get support or get involved this Mental Health Awareness week, from tips on how to find your own community, to fundraising and sponsorship opportunities, to signing up to become a Shout Volunteer.
