Happiful and Counselling Directory celebrate community this Mental Health Awareness Week
Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 runs from Monday 12th May to Sunday 18th May and, this year, centres on the theme of community. While raising awareness about mental health is important all year round, this week offers an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, learn how to check in with ourselves and discover new ways to offer and access support.
To mark the week, Happiful has created a dedicated hub filled with resources to help readers explore how to build or make the most of supportive communities. The hub includes inspiring stories, expert insights into the power of group connection and guidance on the challenges some communities face when it comes to mental health.
Happiful and Counselling Directory will also be hosting a live webinar on the topic of ‘Finding community in a polarised society’. The webinar will be hosted by Happiful’s Kat Nicholls. Kat, who is the host of Happiful’s podcast, Finding What Works, will be joined by Counselling Directory member Bianca Le Conte. The webinar will take place this Thursday (15th May) at 12pm and is free to attend.
