We are celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week.

The theme is loneliness which affects millions of people around the world including young people.

To play our part in tackling loneliness, we are sharing stories, resources and tips from experts across our school community and from other organisations to raise awareness of this important issue.

If you’d like to play a part in raising awareness, please share content with your community and get involved in the conversation by using the hashtag #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek.
