Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 will take place from 13 to 19 May, on the theme of “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”. The Mental Health Foundation started Mental Health Awareness Week in 2001 to increase public understanding of mental health and how mental health problems can be prevented.
After years of being ignored, hidden away, and not being spoken about, Mental Health Awareness Week makes sure that mental health remains at the centre of the public conversation. It has contributed to government policy changes and provides a significant red-letter day when mental health charities throughout the UK can fundraise to support their work.
Above all, it keeps up the pressure for change so that we collectively prioritise the UK’s mental health, prevent mental health problems and take action to make sure we live in a society that values and promotes good mental health for all.
The Drawing Rooms, West Malling have created this uplifting new card featuring the beauty of the great outdoors. Our hope is that this will be a lovely card to send to someone, whether it be as a lovely greetings card to a friend, a letter to someone you don’t see often or someone in your community who may be struggling with poor mental health. Or you can just pop it in a frame and put it up in your home! Regardless of how you decide to enjoy this card, 100% of the profits from sales of this card will be donated to local charities, groups and organisations that directly support families and individuals who want to return to positive mental health. Our hope is that the gesture of receiving this card will show someone that they are important. That they are loved. And that there is somebody thinking of them and wanting to support them. This card is available to order on our website www.thedrawingrooms.co.uk, or over the phone 01732 600400 or in from next week. Thank you for your kind support and please share the Mental Health Awareness theme with a friend “Moving more for our mental health” and go into the great outdoors together.
