We are excited to announce that this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week will take place from 12-18th May 2025, and the theme is “Community”.

This week is dedicated to celebrating the incredible impact that communities have on our mental health and wellbeing. Whether it’s through family, friends, neighbours, or local organisations, being part of a community provides a sense of belonging, support, and connection.

What to Expect

Throughout the week, we have planned several activities, discussions, and events to highlight the importance of community in mental health.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming up:

Carers of Dundee Let’s Talk
