Mental Health Awareness Week toolkit

When we’re struggling with our mental health, worries about everyday life like work, relationships and money can become overwhelming. This can lead to us feeling isolated and withdrawn.

When we’re in a dark place, it can feel difficult to connect with others, but often that is when we need connection more than ever.

Share some of the below posts on your social media to help us remind people that, whatever they’re going through, they don’t have to face it alone.

Share Samaritans’ messaging on social media 

Throughout the week, we will be sharing reminders to let people know they’re not alone and that we all have a part to play in supporting each other.

Help amplify our message by sharing and engaging with our posts throughout the week. Here's where you can find us:

Tips for supporting colleagues

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, I’m sharing a reminder from @Samaritans to make time to connect with others, especially if you think they might be going through a tough time. If you think a friend or colleague might be struggling with their mental health, reach out and let them know they’re not alone.

You can't leave your mental health at home

When we’ve got lots on our mind, worries about everyday life, like work and other responsibilities, can feel overwhelming. We all carry things with us, and it’s not always easy to set those feelings aside.

One thing we can all do is be there for each other. If you think someone might be struggling with their mental health, reach out and remind them that they’re not alone.
