Why Mental Health Awareness Week Matters

Mental Health Awareness Week is an important time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage open conversations about emotional wellbeing. For children, it offers an opportunity to learn how to name and manage their feelings, develop empathy for others, and recognise when to ask for help. This annual event is a chance for schools, homes, and communities to come together in support of emotional health and show that mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health. Engaging in activities during this week also helps children understand that they’re not alone, and that mental health is something we all share and can support together.

About This Year’s Theme – Power in Community

The 2025 theme for Mental Health Awareness Week is "Community", a celebration of the people, relationships, and connections that help us feel supported, safe and understood. For children, community can mean family, friends, classmates, teachers, neighbours, and even pets. Being part of a strong, caring community helps boost mental health by offering emotional support, reducing feelings of isolation and increasing confidence and resilience.

When we feel connected, we’re more likely to thrive. This year’s theme invites us to help children recognise the power in community - from acts of kindness and teamwork, to identifying who supports them and how they can support others in return. Our range of Mental Health Awareness resources for schools, professionals and more have been created to reflect that message in fun, accessible ways.
