This World Mental Health Day, let's talk, listen, and support better mental health together.
Every year on 10 October, World Mental Health Day reminds us why good mental health is so important and encourages us to prioritise it in our lives, workplaces, and communities.
The 2026 theme, "Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change", highlights the power of listening to people's experiences and ensuring their voices help shape positive change.
Conversations about mental health can make a real difference. Yet many of us worry about saying the wrong thing, which can stop important conversations before they even begin. The truth is that simply taking the time to listen, show empathy, and offer support can be incredibly valuable.
Take a look at these helpful tips on how to start conversations and listen effectively when talking about mental health.
We also know that physical activity plays an important role in supporting mental wellbeing. Being active can help reduce stress, improve mood, boost confidence, and strengthen social connections.
This November, why not challenge yourself to walk 100 miles, because 100% of people deserve good mental health.
By taking part in Walk 100 Miles in November, you'll be helping to raise vital funds that enable people to access the support, resources, and tools they need to protect their mental health before they reach crisis point.
