Mental Health Awareness Week 2017
Mental Health Awareness Week took place 8 - 14th May, with thousands of supporters getting involved across the UK. This years theme from the Mental Health Foundation was 'surviving or thriving?'. Rather than asking why high numbers of people have mental health problems, the Mental Health Foundation wanted to look at why too few of us in the UK are thriving with good mental health.
For more information, resources and support visit the Mental Health Foundation website. To see what went on throughout the week from organisations across the country, search the hashtag #MHAW17
