Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 toolkit of resources

Mental Health Awareness Week starts on Monday 13th May, and is one of the biggest mental health awareness events in the school or college calendar.

The week is organised by the Mental Health Foundation. This year, the theme is ‘Movement: moving more for our mental health.’

We know that movement and exercise can protect and build our mental wellbeing, boost our mood, and help us look after our health. 

In this toolkit, we’re sharing resources to help you discuss mental health with your pupils during Mental Health Awareness Week. It contains resources that explore the links between mental and physical health, as well as materials to teach pupils more broadly about how to build good mental wellbeing.

We’ve also included resources for staff, to both support your own mental health and to start conversations with your pupils.
