We are a community for people with lived experience of mental health to campaign for change.
This Mental Health Awareness Week is themed around Anxiety. We know that anxiety can be difficult to deal with – but the good news is there are often things we can do to make things a bit easier on ourselves. Check back throughout the week for more content around anxiety and what IMHN is doing this Mental Health Awareness Week!
