Public Health England launches ‘Every Mind Matters’ – the first national NHS mental health campaign.

We don’t need to wait until we are struggling with our mental health; there are lots of things we can do to protect ourselves and prevent problems escalating, just as we do with our physical health.

The new Every Mind Matters campaign encourages adults to be more aware of their mental health and helps them to discover simple steps to look after their mental health and well-being.

Every Mind Matters offers a range of useful resources that help spot the signs of common mental health concerns, provides practical self-care tips and guidance and, importantly, explains when to seek further support.

There is also a free NHS-approved online tool on the Every Mind Matters website, which helps people to build an action plan to deal with stress and anxiety, boost their mood, improve their sleep and help them feel more in control.
