UKUPC is taking part in the UK’s Mental Health Awareness Week, working together to support our members to focus on achieving good mental health. Each day we will be providing top tips, tools, and the support you need, to start living a mentally healthier life.
#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek was established over 21 years ago by The Mental Health Foundation, to this day they continue to set the theme, organise, and host the event, which this year focuses on the theme of loneliness, our connection to other people and our community.
