  • World Mental Health Day - 10th October 2022

    Published 07/10/22

    The World Health Organisation recognises World Mental Health Day on 10 October every year.

    The theme of 2022's World Mental Health Day, set by the World Federation for Mental Health, is 'Make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority'.

    For over 70 years, we’ve been working to make sure that mental health is treated on a par with physical health. Mental health problems exist in our lives, families, workplaces and communities, impacting everyone. We need to do as much as possible to prevent mental ill-health – as individuals and as a society. We will continue to call on national and local government to prioritise reducing the factors known to pose a risk to people’s mental health, enhancing those known to protect it and creating the conditions needed for people to thrive.

    World Mental Health Day is also a chance to talk about mental health in general, how we need to look after it, and how important it is to talk about things and get help if you are struggling.

    This morning at 10am Jurgen a Year 8 student council member spoke to the whole school via the tanoy reading a poem called Haleem's story.
