Why Is Mental Health Awareness Important

Despite being the cause of deaths and pain for millions of people in the U.K, the importance of looking after your mental health is still only beginning to be understood by most of the population. There are a lot of taboos and misinformation regarding mental health and it is causing confusion and restricting people from speaking their mind. Mental Health Awareness Week offers us a great platform for conversations to be started and to help more people understand the importance of maintaining good mental health.
