🌍 World mental health day - 10th October 2025

Theme this year is:

Access to Services - Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.

Yesterday was world Mental Health Day, an international event that reminds us all to look after our mental well being and check in on those around us.

Many people experience stress, anxiety or depression when life feels uncertain or overhwhelming. When someone in any of those situations knows where to turn for support this can make all the difference.

💚 Samaritans - call 116 123 (free 24 hours every day) www.samaritans.org

💜 Shout - text 85258 for free, confidential support via text messaging.

💙 Mind - call 0300 123 3393 or text 86463 for information and guidance.

🤍 NHS 111 - if you're worried about your mental health of that of someone else - call 111 for advice.

💛 Young minds - visit www.youngminds.org.uk for advice for young people and parents.

🚨If it's an emergency or someone's life might be at risk, please call 999 or go to your nearest A&E.

Everyone deserves access to safe, compassionate mental health care - where ever they are and what ever they are facing.

Please let us help spread the word, raise awareness and support each other. 🫶🏻
