World Mental Health Day 2020
10th October 2020 is World Mental Health Day
World Mental Health Day 2020 is the most important one yet. This year has been a tough one for us all. The months of lockdown and loss have had a huge impact on our mental health.
According to Mind’s research, with over 16,000 people, more than half of adults (60%) and over two-thirds of young people (68%) said their mental health become worse during the lockdown. We know that many have developed new mental health problems as a result of the pandemic and, for some of us, existing mental health problems have become worse.
Mental health problems can affect anyone, any day of the year, but 10th October is a great day to show your support for better mental health and start looking after your own wellbeing.
This video from mind talks about what mental health problems are
