Mental Health Foundation has announced Body Image as the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week, which runs from May 13th-19th 2019. Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) is the UK’s national week to raise awareness of mental health and mental health problems and inspire action to promote the message of good mental health for all. Mental Health Awareness Week provides an annual national focus point for mental health – raising awareness and equipping people with tools and information to take action. Founded in 2001 by the Mental Health Foundation, the event has become one of the biggest mental health awareness events in the world. The Mental Health Foundation leads the week, setting an annual theme and contributing to UK-wide research, evidence and debate on this theme each year. The theme for 2019 will be Body Image – how we see ourselves and how that makes us feel. To launch the week, the foundation will release comprehensive new research on this issue.
