Mental Health Awareness Week 2025

Mental Health Awareness Week runs from 12th–18th May 2025, and is an important opportunity for schools to open up conversations around emotional wellbeing. The week encourages children and adults to learn how to care for their mental health and seek support when needed. This presentation helps teachers and pupils mark the week in a meaningful, accessible way, and contributes to wider school wellbeing goals.

About This Year’s Theme: Power in Community

The 2025 theme, Power in Community, focuses on the role that community and connection play in our mental health. For children, community may include family, friends, school staff, classmates, neighbours, or clubs they attend. When children feel connected, supported, and valued, they are more likely to thrive both emotionally and socially.

This presentation helps children identify their own support networks, recognise the importance of kindness, and explore how they can build stronger, more compassionate communities—both in and out of school.
