Friday, 10 October is World Mental Health Day This year’s global theme is access to services – mental health in catastrophes and emergencies. The theme highlights the importance of people being able to protect their mental health whatever they're going through, because everyone deserves good mental health. What we see and hear in the news and online can be overwhelming and even if you're not directly affected by events, abroad or in the UK, it can still feel like a lot at times. It is okay to ask for help, no matter what you, or anyone else is going through. If you or someone you know needs emotional wellbeing or mental health support or just wants to know more about local and national organisations and services, check out our article: https://orlo.uk/OYnY5 #WMHD25 #WorldMentalHealthDay
