Mental Health Awareness Week is "the biggest opportunity for the whole of the UK to come together and focus on getting good mental health", stated mentalhealth.org.uk.
Introduced in 2001, the Mental Health Foundation has aimed to get people to understand and prioritise theirs and others mental health, tackling the negative stigma about this topic and turning it into something new! This year they are focusing on the word "community". Between the days of 12th to 18th of May, they will be celebrating the vitality of having a safe, positive community and how you can thrive in it. Reminding others that they are not alone and everyone deserves "a sense of belonging, safety and support in hard times". This is a great time to come together, making this week more meaningful and enjoyable.
If you would like to participate then Wear It Green! You can go green by organising a "Wear It Green Day" in your school, workplace or community to raise the funds and awarness for mental health. By going green, you support the people at Mental Health Foundation spread their word, turning the world green for good mental health!
