As Mental Health Awareness Week draws to a close, we are reflecting on the results of our Healthier Nation Index survey revealed that 1 in 3 adults feel that their mental health has got worse in the last year.

We believe that nurturing your mental health is just as important as building your skills. This #WorldMentalHealthDay, let’s commit to prioritizing our mental health and foster environments that support both professional and personal well-being. Take care of yourself, join communities that help, and seek support if needed. It’s okay to ask for help. Your future self needs your mental health to be stable, so guard it well! #MentalHealthAwareness #CareerGrowth #SelfCare

Mind's annual ‘Attitudes to Mental Illness’ research shows that while the social stigma around conditions like schizophrenia and depression is getting better, people in England are less likely to think that recovery from a mental health problem is possible than they did in 2019.
