Mental Health Awareness Week

Mental Health Awareness Week

8 to 14 May 2017

Surviving or Thriving? 

 

 

 

 

Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, which is organised by the Mental Health Foundation. The theme for the week is Surviving or Thriving? Good mental health is more than the absence of a mental health problem.  That's why during this week, mental health is being looked at from a new perspective.  Instead of asking why so many people live with mental health problems, the week will seek to uncover why too few people are thriving with good mental health.

Come and take a look at the display in the LRC depicting information from the Mental Health Foundation website, as well as some resources available in the LRC to borrow including some self help guides on dealing with anxiety, confidence and stress.  Further information, publications and resources can be found on the Mental Health Foundation website.
