Mental health awareness week is a really powerful opportunity to see the subject of Mental health flood the media and help people become more educated, aware and to help people understand. This year more than ever will see all the main mental health charities and organisations working with their own campaigns to highlight and promote the week, and as always we are proud to be involved.
Mental Health Associations theme for this years Mental Health Awareness week is Kindness.

Why kindness?
Because of its singular ability to unlock our shared humanity. Kindness strengthens relationships, develops community and deepens solidarity. It is a cornerstone of our individual and collective mental health. Wisdom from every culture across history recognises that kindness is something that all human beings need to experience and practise to be fully alive.

Celebrate kindness
But we also want to shine a light on the ways that kindness is already flowering at this time. We have seen it in the dancing eyes of 100-year-old Captain Tom Moore as he walked his garden to raise money for the NHS and in the mutual aid groups responding to local needs. We want that kindness to spread further in every community in the UK.

Kindness and Mental Health
Kindness is defined by doing something towards yourself and others, motivated by genuine desire to make a positive difference. We know from the research that kindness and our mental health are deeply connected. The research shows that kindness is an antidote to isolation and creates a sense of belonging. It helps reduce stress, brings a fresh perspective and deepens friendships. Kindness to ourselves can prevent shame from corroding our sense of identity and help boost our self-esteem. Kindness can even improve feelings of confidence and optimism.

Kindness is an act of courage
But kindness is an intrinsically risky endeavour. It can risk us looking foolish or being taken advantage of, which is why we sometimes retreat. To receive or to give kindness is an act of courage. We want to use Mental Health Awareness Week to support each other to take that brave step and harness the benefits for both giver and receiver.

A kinder society?
We have a once in a generation opportunity not only during but also following this pandemic for a reset and re-think about what kind of society we want to emerge from this crisis.

We know that one act of kindness can lead to many more. This is the type of community action that we need to inspire others as we discover our connection to each other and extend kindness to ourselves.

No act of kindness is ever wasted. Please join us this Mental Health Awareness Week and make kindness matter.

We will be hearing from some of our ambassadors about how kindness has made a difference to them and we would like to hear:

•Examples from you of where kindness has played a part in your mental health journey or lifted you when you were down

•Invite you to take part in a week of ‘random acts of kindness’

Keep an eye out daily for how to get involved!

Thank you,Be Kind Always
