Mental Health Awareness Week 2026

Next Week, Monday 11th- Sunday 17th May is National Mental Health Awareness Week.

The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 is “Action”, led by the Mental Health Foundation. This theme moves beyond awareness to encourage practical steps for better mental health for ourselves, others, and society. The focus is on taking action to prevent people from becoming unwell and reducing stigma.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, people are being asked to take action and support good mental health. Even small actions can help people to feel hopeful and less powerless. Whilst our individual actions matter, when we come together we are even more powerful.

Expect supports Mental Health Awareness Week, awareness events will take place across our services next week.
