Mental Health Awareness Week (12–18 May): The Power of Community

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week, the theme is the power of community. The Healthy Minds website is showing how local connection and support can strengthen mental wellbeing across Bradford District and Craven.

A new blog explores why being part of a community matters and how it can help people feel less alone. It also features the “Filling Your Own Cup” video series, where a parent, a member of staff, and a young person each share how they look after their own mental health through community and self-care.

Visitors to the blog can also explore a wide range of local groups and activities designed to support mental wellbeing. It’s a helpful starting point for anyone looking to connect with others and take positive steps for their mental health.
