When is Mental Health Awareness Week 2023?
May sees
both Mental Health Awareness Week (15th - 21st May), and Maternal Mental Health Week (1st - 7th May) take place – both intended to draw attention to challenges around mental
health.
The organisations behind these two important awareness weeks have
given a lot of thought to the theme and focus for this year.
What is the 2023 theme for Mental Health Awareness Week
The Mental Health Foundation’s theme for 2023 is anxiety.
Anxiety is a normal emotion, caused by lots of things in our every
day lives, such as exam pressure, work, the cost of living or just a big life
event. The feeling can get out of control and become a mental health problem.
In a recent study they found ¼ of adults said their anxiety stopped them
from doing something. Anxiety can be made easier to manager, which is why it is
so important to increase our awareness and understanding of anxiety. Whilst encouraging
society to keep the improvement of mental health as a key priority .
Mindfulness can be a helpful tool to help cope with anxiety. As it
encourages you to be in the moment and help you manage your thoughts.

world’.

during the perinatal period whilst shining a spotlight on the services and
support available to help.
