Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 takes place from 13 May – 19 May 2024. The theme is Movement: Moving more for our mental health.
Research has shown that regular physical activity can make us happier and healthier. Our bodies release feel-good hormones when we’re active, which can reduce anxiety and stress and help us sleep better. By building movement into our working day, we can have a positive impact on productivity and focus.
As a company, we have recently appointed two new Mental Health First Aiders, who undertook training through the NHS Wellbeing Workshops provided by MHFA (Mental Health First Aid) England. Both appointees are able to offer initial assistance, lend a compassionate ear, and guide individuals towards appropriate support services if needed. This is why we are supporting Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 with MHFA.
Mental Health Awareness Week is a key moment in the mental health calendar, especially for our MHFAiders, who work tirelessly in their communities and workplaces to support colleagues, friends, and family when needed.
We are thrilled to share MHFA’s exclusive Empower Half Hour resources to enhance and support your Mental Health Week wellbeing activities.
The resources provide simple and mostly free activities that connect mental and physical wellbeing, promote colleague connections, and encourage wellbeing throughout the week and beyond. Feel free to download.
