World Mental Health Day is the annual global celebration of mental health education, awareness and advocacy.
Every year on the 10th October we join together in shining the spotlight on a particular aspect of Mental Health. This year’s theme is ‘Dignity in Mental Health’. The South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust Committee have organised a couple of events to focus on ‘Connecting with Dignity’.
In addition to this they have decided to focus on the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’. The ‘Five ways to Wellbeing’ are about taking action and making a conscious and deliberate choice to look after our own health and wellbeing. The Five Ways are Connect, Keep Learning, Be Active, Take Notice and Give.
The focus this year will be on ‘Connect’. In partnership with the community, voluntary and statutory sectors they are encouraging groups of friends, colleagues and organisations to get together and run a ‘Coffee and Connect’ event where people can get together and have a chat and a cuppa. Building connections will support and enrich you every day. All events are committed to the promotion of positive mental health and wellbeing.
