12^th – 18^th May 2025

Mental Health Awareness Week is vital in increasing public understanding of mental health and how mental health problems can be prevented.

After years of being ignored, hidden away, and not being spoken about, Mental Health Awareness Week makes sure that mental health remains at the centre of the public conversation. It has contributed to government policy changes and provides a significant red-letter day when mental health charities throughout the UK can fundraise to support their work.

Above all, it keeps up the pressure for change so that we collectively prioritise the UK’s mental health, prevent mental health problems and take action to make sure we live in a society that values and promotes good mental health for all.

At the Mental Health Foundation, we know that mental health is complex, and our wellbeing is determined by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors:

• Biological factors, e.g. physical health, genetics, diet, sleep, age
• Psychological factors, e.g. beliefs, mental health diagnoses, perception, addictions
• Social factors, e.g. relationships, family, culture, work, money, housing

We’re challenging the way things are done and creating fundamental change in the UK’s approach to mental health by:

• Researching and developing new and more effective ways to support good mental health
• Providing everyone with evidence-backed advice and resources they can trust
• Running national campaigns and working with local communities to nurture good mental health
• Working with organisations across the UK and influencing decision-makers at all levels, to take the valuable lessons we’ve learned and adopt solutions that are proven to work.   

We work across the four nations of the UK with offices in Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow and London.

We are the home of Mental Health Awareness Week.
