Happy Mental Health Awareness Week! 🎉🧠💙
May 11th - 17th 2026.

This year the theme coordinated by @mentalhealth is ‘Take Action’ to support good mental health.

So of course we are very excited because that’s what we are all about at Action for Happiness.

Mental Health Foundation are encouraging everbody to take action; for ourselves, for others and for all of us.

Take action for yourself, choose a healthy meal, spend time in nature or find ways to be more present.

Take action for others, choose to be kind to strangers, let loved ones know they are appreciated and make space for quality time with friends.

Take action all of us by acting collectively, take care of the environment, donate time or money to a meaningful cause or volunteer in your local community.

Studies show that the positive actions we take can ripple out into the world and have a meaningful impact far beyond the present moment.

What action will you take today?
