Mental Health Awareness Week 2025: Community and Mental Health



Mental Health Awareness Week 2025: Community and Mental Health

Mental Health Awareness Week returns from 12th to 18th May 2025, and this year’s theme is all about community.

Led by the Mental Health Foundation since 2001, Mental Health Awareness Week has grown into a national moment that brings millions of people together to focus on mental well-being. This year, it celebrates the power of community and how feeling connected to others can protect and strengthen our mental health.

Community is about more than just geography. It is about the relationships we build and the support we offer each other through the highs and lows of life. When we feel connected, we are more likely to thrive emotionally, physically and even professionally. The friendships and bonds we form can give us a sense of purpose and help us find meaning in everyday life, especially when times are tough.

Building and nurturing a mentally healthy community does not always require grand gestures. Often, it is the smaller moments that make the biggest impact, such as:

  • Checking in with a neighbour over a cuppa
  • Volunteering at a local event or charity
  • Joining a club, sports team or hobby group
  • Organising a community walk or coffee morning
  • Offering a friendly ear to someone who might be struggling

Feeling part of something bigger than ourselves can reduce loneliness, lift our spirits and even help us live longer. It is a reminder that mental health is not an individual experience but something shaped by the relationships and environments around us.

Other ways to support your mental health this Mental Health Awareness Week include:

  • Reaching out to reconnect with old friends or family
  • Spending time outdoors with others
  • Practising mindfulness, either alone or in a group setting
  • Making time to share meals or activities together
  • Celebrating small wins and supporting others to do the same
