Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 will take place from 13 to 19 May, on the theme of “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”.

Movement is important for our mental health. But so many of us struggle to move enough. We know there are many different reasons for this, so this Mental Health Awareness Week we want to help people to find moments for movement in their daily routines. Going for a walk in your neighbourhood, putting on your favourite music and dancing around the living room, chair exercises when you’re watching television – it all counts!

We have some fun activities planned throughout the week for the staff and students showing how movement is important and the different ways people move for health (walking, yoga, sport etc)

If any of our students and/or parents would be willing to send a photo of them 'moving' - maybe walking the dog, bike ride, bungee jumping!! - then we will put the photos together and share on social media? They will make a fantastic "Montage of Movement!"
