🌿 World Mental Health Day – 10 October 2025

This year’s theme: “Mental health is a universal human right.

World Mental Health Day a time to raise awareness, promote understanding, and take action to support mental wellbeing for everyone.

Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. It influences how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices every day. Looking after our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health.

At the Mortimer Medical Practice we encourage everyone to take a moment today to check in with themselves and others, friends, family, and colleagues. Small acts of kindness, listening without judgment, and showing empathy can make a real difference.

If you’re struggling or know someone who is, please remember you are not alone. Support is available:

✅Your GP practice can offer advice, support, and referrals.

✅NHS 111 (option 2) – for urgent mental health support.

✅Samaritans – call 116 123 (free, 24/7).

✅Mind – visit www.mind.org.uk for resources and information.

Let’s continue to make mental health a priority, not just today, but every day. Together, we can build a culture of openness, compassion, and support for all.

💚 It’s okay not to be okay and it’s okay to ask for help.
