The theme is 'We all have a role to play'. Whether it’s taking time to care for yourself, caring for someone close to you, supporting your community to be more mental health aware, or being a mental health ally.
This month, think about ways you with the people around you. Making a world free from mental health stigma, and more for people who are going through tough times takes all of us!
