On Friday, 28th January 2022, we are joining other Londoners in celebrating London’s Great Mental Health Day. The aim of the day is to get us talking about mental health, destigmatise asking for help and to make you aware of the great support available to you. 

The day will see organisations and individuals across the city come together to host a range of activities which are designed to boost your mood and improve resilience, as well as providing an opportunity to connect with neighbours and friends. 

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “It’s never been more important for each of us to think and talk about our mental health and wellbeing – and to seek help and support should we need it.  

“That’s why we’re launching our city’s first ever Great Mental Health Day, to tackle the stigma around mental health and help Londoners learn more about the small things we can all do to support our own wellbeing. 

“The pandemic has taken a heavy toll on our mental health, so if you’re struggling please remember that help and support is available.”

You can also get involved using the hashtag #GreatMentalHealth to share your own tips, advice and experience across all social media platforms. As part of this, we’d love to see a short clip of you answering one of the following:

·       What do you do to improve your own mental health?

·       What makes you feel connected to others?

·       What do you do to support others in your community?

You can post it online using #GreatMentalHealth or tagging @ThriveLDN, and use the hashtag to find out what other Londoners are doing to improve their mental health.
