Good mental health for all
Join Take Action, Get Active, and throughout the month of May, take part in half an hour of exercise a day, outdoors to support the Mental Health Foundation. Complete the 30 minutes a day, your way, you can run, jog, walk, skip – be as creative as you like, and you will receive full support from us along the way.
Our theme for Mental Health Awareness Week this year is nature. Spending quality time with nature can reduce stress, balance your mood and help you feel more positive. The important thing is to switch on your senses and really connect – whether that’s noticing nature on your daily jog, or listening to the birds on your woodland walk.
Sign up today to help us raise awareness, challenge the stigma and bring about positive change, so that people and communities can thrive.
