Hi everyone,

World Mental Health Day is coming up on 10 October.

The theme for World Mental Health Day 2021 is ‘Mental Health in an Unequal World’. We'd love to create a few discussions on the community and have you involved in coming up with some ideas.

What discussions would you like to see for World Mental Health Day this year?

Share any of your ideas below - we'd love to hear them :)
Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    I learnt about this at school today during my wellbeing session in form time. :) My idea would be to have a discussion about how mental health can be overlooked in men because it can sometimes feel like it can be unequal in terms of expectations and feelings for men and women.

    Thank you so much everyone for your ideas, even though World Mental Health Day has passed, we can definitely post a few of these discussions on the community throughout the year. If you would like to start your own discussions on the topics you mentioned, you are also more than welcome to do so as well :)

    Looking forward to starting some of these discussions on the community - thank you again for sharing!
