Usdaw members across the UK are supporting Mental Health Awareness Week from 15-21 May. It’s open to everyone and it’s all about starting conversations about mental health and the things in our daily lives that can affect it and be affected by it.

Each year there is a different theme for Mental Health Awareness Week and this year the focus is on 'Anxiety'. 

Mental Health UK's ‘Just’ Anxiety? campaign raises awareness of the help available to people who might experience prolonged, intense or persistent feelings of anxiety. Find out how you can get involved and raise awareness of where to seek help and support by visiting mentalhealth-uk.org
 
Usdaw has a range of leaflets to help signpost members for support with their mental health and to raise awareness of rights at work where a member's health is having an impact on their attendance or performance.
 
No-one expects you to be an expert, but if you can listen and then help signpost someone, or help them get the right support at work, you can make a big difference.

You can view Usdaw's leaflets on mental health here as well as order workplace campaign materials if you want to hold a mental health campaign day in your workplace.
