World Mental Health Day is Sunday 10 October, and this year the theme is ‘Mental Health in an Unequal World'.
Everyone should have access to equal mental health care that’s right for them but unfortunately this is not the case. People from ethnic minority groups for instance are more likely to experience racism and be physically restrained or isolated while seeking mental health care.
This is an opportunity for us to raise awareness, speak out and do something to make a change.
You can educate yourself and use the information below to start a conversation about mental health, share your experiences with others and help to raise awareness.

Free courses
Suicide awareness training
We recommend this 30 minute Suicide Awareness Training from Zero Suicide Alliance. There are also other modules in the three-step training to help us better understand what signs to look out for and how to approach someone who is struggling with isolation or suicidal thoughts.
