What is Mental Health Awareness Week?

For one week each May, we campaign around a specific theme for Mental Health Awareness Week, a week in which we help raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing issues.
Since our first Mental Health Awareness Week in 2000, we’ve pushed topics like loneliness, altruism, sleep, anger, fear, alcohol and friendship into the public sphere.  Last year’s campaign, “Doing Good Does You Good,” centred on altruism and resulted in the most successful week ever in our online history, with more than 25,000 visitors to the website, a 357% increase in the number of followers for our dedicated Facebook page, and press circulation figures exceeding 18 million.

The aim of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is to change the way we view physical activity in the UK: to shift physical activity from a behaviour which we do because we ‘have to’, ‘should do’ or ‘ought to do’ for our health, to something which we do because we personally value its positive benefits to our wellbeing.

Live Active offer various activities throughout our venues so why not come in and try what's available from swimming and health suite to adult classes.
