Mental Health Awareness Week will take place from 18-24 May 2020 with the topic of kindness.
Mental health problems can affect anyone, at any time. We believe that mental health is everyone’s business.
Why kindness?
One thing that we have seen all over the world is that kindness is prevailing in uncertain times.
We have learnt that amid the fear, there is also community, support and hope.
The added benefit of helping others is that it is good for our own mental health and wellbeing. It can help reduce stress and improve your emotional wellbeing.
How can I get involved with Mental Health Awareness Week?
Join in online. We want to get Cornwall talking about kindness and mental health. By joining us online, you can even reach people from around the world.
During the week, we would like you to carry out or reflect on an act of kindness. Take a photo or video (with permission!) and use the hashtags:
