Join in with today's World Mental Health day activities
Take part in FREE activities on Monday 10th October that will help to improve your mental health and wellbeing
Enjoy tea and coffee, learn a new skill and get crafting, join in on yoga, head to a Get Active class or take part in glow in the dark aerobics!
World mental health day gives us a chance to speak about mental health and wellbeing. We all struggle from time to time and should be able to seek help wherever we are in the world, just as we would for physical health difficulties. We all need to take some time to look after ourselves and do things that help us to improve the way we think, feel, and behave. We have based our event today on the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. Evidence suggests that we can do certain things that will help us to improve our mental health and wellbeing. So please come and join in the different activities from around the world designed to help you feel better and improve your wellbeing! Thrive@Beds
