Youth Mental Health Day, 19th September

Did you know one in five 8-25-year-olds have a mental health disorder? Yet, only 40% are able to access effective treatment? This year’s Youth Mental Health Day theme is ‘Share Support’. Studies show that peer support can be associated with reductions in depression and anxiety in young people, and when young people share their own coping strategies and recommendations, it not only empowers them but also provides others with relatable, practical tools to help with their challenges.

Join us on 19th September: this year’s YMHD theme, Share Support, encourages us all to connect, share, and access clinically-informed mental health resources.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week, 15th - 19th September

This Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week, we’re focusing on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) – a serious autoimmune condition that’s often misunderstood. RA isn’t just “aches and pains”. It’s chronic, it’s painful, and it can affect every part of a person’s life.
Let’s dispel the myths, raise awareness and support the millions living with RA every day.

Since the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) was founded in 2001, one of our key aims has been to increase public understanding and awareness of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as distinct from other forms of arthritis.
