This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week. 

'Action is not separate from awareness, it’s a natural extension of it. When people find out more about mental health, when they recognise early signs of problems in themselves and others, when they know what support looks like and what they can do to maintain their mental health, they are already taking action. When greater numbers of us take action, communities of motivated people are laying the foundations for a society that prioritises good mental health. This is action at its most powerful.  

This year’s theme is an invitation for all of us to take that next step. 

Your action can be something you do for yourself, for someone else, or for all of us.' 

To help you in taking action and the next step, please find below the Mental Health Foundation's 'Top 10 Action Tips'
