Great Mental Health Day returns to London 💙

On Friday, 30 January 2026, Great Mental Health Day will bring people across London together to talk openly about mental health and celebrate the everyday spaces that support our wellbeing.

Whether it’s a local community group, a sports club, or a safe place to talk, these spaces help us stay connected and supported.

👉 You can get involved by attending or hosting an event, accessing free resources, or finding mental health support near you.

We all experience stress, but how we manage it makes a difference. Small daily habits—like deep breathing, movement, and setting boundaries—can help create a sense of balance.

At ACT, we’re here to support you. If stress is affecting your well-being, talking to a counsellor can help.

For World Mental Health Day, here’s a reminder of the importance of reaching out for help. According to British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), nearly a third of UK adults accessed counselling in 2024, yet that’s just a fraction of those in need. Over 88% of adults agree that therapy should be accessible to everyone, but stigma still lingers.

ACT is proud to share that last year we offered 4,138 free or low cost therapy sessions to adults from diverse background.

It’s crucial to express your struggles and seek support. Whether through charities, therapists, or talking with loved ones, every voice matters in breaking the silence on mental health. Let’s advocate for more accessible mental health services!
