Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 toolkit of resources

Mental Health Awareness Week takes place from 12–18 May 2025.

Organised by the Mental Health Foundation, this year’s theme, ‘Community’, focuses on how connection and belonging support mental health and wellbeing.

A strong support network can make a real difference to how we feel. Whether at school, at home or in wider social circles, feeling part of a community can provide comfort, encouragement and a sense of purpose.

This toolkit brings together resources to help you explore these ideas with your students during Mental Health Awareness Week.

It includes resources that encourage discussions about belonging and connections, and offers ways for students to explore their feelings, build supportive relationships and feel more connected to those around them.

You’ll also find resources to support your own wellbeing, as well as ideas for promoting staff mental health and creating space for open conversations across your setting.
