Mental Health Awareness Week
12th – 18th May 2025

Since 2001, the Mental Health Foundation has been leading Mental Health Awareness Week – bringing the UK together to focus on getting good mental health. This year, the week takes place from the 12th to 18th May 2025.
We want to use this week to celebrate the power and importance of ‘Community’.
Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. We thrive when we have strong connections with other people and supportive communities that remind us, we are not alone.
Communities can provide a sense of belonging, safety, support in hard times, and give us a sense of purpose.
This year, help us change attitudes towards mental health awareness at Walsall College. You can help create a community that works for people, their families, your students and colleagues.
Come along to the LRC and take a look at our range of wide and varied resources and support sessions to help you increase your knowledge of mental health and better support the whole Walsall College community.
