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'. We must do as much as possible to prevent mental ill-health – as individuals and as a society.
World Mental Health Day is 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.
Today, on Monday 10 October, thousands of schools, offices and communities across the UK will be taking part in #HelloYellow to show young people they're not alone.
"According to the latest NHS figures, nearly half a million young people are being referred for mental health problems every month, with many not being able to get the support they need. Waiting lists are getting longer and young people are being made to feel like their feelings don't matter. Like they don't matter." - Young Minds UK
To take part, simply wear yellow, donate what you can and share your #HelloYellow day on social media.
