1 Mental Health Awareness Week - The Battered Black Book

Mental Health Awareness Week

Mental Health Awareness Week is an annual UK wide campaign to tackle stigma and help people understand and prioritise mental health. Running from 13th-19th May, this year’s theme is ‘Movement: moving more for our mental health’.

The dedicated week allows us to raise awareness about the importance of exercise and movement and its association to our mental health. Moving more can increase your energy, reduce stress and anxiety, and boost your self-esteem.

Regular physical activity is known to improve mental health, quality of life, and wellbeing. It also helps prevent and treat heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and breast and colon cancer, and more. Despite these benefits being well established, over a third of UK adults do not meet the recommended amount of activity.

If you’d like to improve your mental health by moving more, here are some tips to help you get started. For further information, click here.
