World Mental Health Day 2018

Be part of the conversation on mental health this World Mental Health Day. Your voice can make a difference and let those struggling know that they are not alone.

Since World Mental Health Day last year, we’ve been working with our charity partners to encourage conversations in schools, workplaces, the military and in homes. It has been incredible to see so many people talking about mental health, showing that when we get our heads together we really can achieve great things.

There’s still lots more to do.
