13th - 20th May
Being active is important for our mental health. But so many of us struggle to get enough exercise. We know there are many different reasons for this, so this Mental Health Awareness Week we want to help people to find moments for movement in their daily routines. Going for a walk in your neighbourhood, putting on your favourite music and dancing around the living room, chair exercises when you’re watching television – it all counts!
In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more information on how you, your school, or your organisation can get involved in this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week.
The good news is that anxiety can be made easier to manage. By focusing on "Movement: Moving more for our mental health" for Mental Health Awareness Week in 2024, we want to improve public understanding of why movement is important to help mental health, and share some of the things that can help prevent it from becoming a problem. And we also want to keep up the demand for change - to make sure that improving mental health is a key priority for the government and our society.
