World Mental Health Day 2025

Every year we celebrate World Mental Health Day on 10 October. The theme for 2025, set by the World Federation of Mental Health, 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.

World Mental Health Day is about raising awareness of mental health and driving positive change for everyone’s mental health.

This year, Hertfordshire and Mid Essex Talking Therapies will be out and about in the local community. We’re also hosting our popular Mental Health Awareness Training session, which you can sign up for now.

We’d love for you to join us as we celebrate the day and work together to raise awareness.

Mental Health Awareness Training (online)

Friday 10th October: 11:00am - 12:00pm

Our free online Mental Health Awareness Training workshop raises awareness of common mental health problems and provides tools and techniques to support colleagues struggling with pressures at work, service users navigating challenging lives, friends, and family. Improving your understanding of mental health difficulties could benefit many people around you.

This brief overview session identifies key contributors to mental health challenges, signs and symptoms of mental health difficulties, and ways in which you can open sensitive conversations, develop a plan of action, and build trust. The webinar includes information about NHS Talking Therapies and how to support others to engage more closely with the local mental health team.
