Did you miss or want to find out more about Mental Health Awareness Week. This year the theme was the importance of community for mental health as communities can provide a sense of belonging, purpose and safety. We thrive with the support of positive communities that remind us we are not alone.
The Mental Health Foundation have created a variety of blogs and resources on the topic of communities and mental health. These include guidance around support groups for parents and peer support communities for those with long term health conditions. There is also advice around navigating online communities to support your mental health with top tips including protecting your privacy, setting boundaries, fact checking and being aware of your digital footprint.
