Mental Health Awareness Week
Every May we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW).
This year it’s 11th to 17th May, and the theme is ‘Take Action’.
At Suffolk Mind, we take action every day to support people’s mental health in Suffolk, Sawston and further afield. Our services are there to support people at any point on the Mental Health Continuum.

Share our new film for suicide prevention
More than one person takes their life every week in Suffolk. We’ve released a new short film encouraging people to notice signs something might be wrong, and to ask a question that could save a life: ‘Are you having thoughts of suicide?’ Our new webpage has support.Â
Making Suffolk the best place in the world for talking about and taking care of mental health.
All of us have mental health, just as we have physical health. We are all on the Mental Health Continuum, and we move up and down it depending on how we cope with the challenges of life and the stresses that it creates.
Suffolk Mind supports people from the age of 4 upwards, through:
- Our support services for over 18s
- The Mental Health Kitbag, skills-based sessions for children and young people, and the adults who support them
- The Mental Health Toolkit – our practical mental health training for organisations
Working across the Mental Health Continuum, we aim to provide support and information for everyone.
It became a very dark period and one that now I know could have been completely prevented if I’d have just taken time for myself; to understand that self-care isn’t selfish, that it’s ok to not be ok. That it’s a power and strength to stand up and say ‘my world isn’t right, I need to make some change’.
I have noticed such a difference to our younger workers, who feel they can speak openly and honestly about mental health, because they know they will be listened to.
Since using Suffolk Night Owls I have had no need to seek any other support. Not only are they there when I’m feeling suicidal, I can talk with them as a safety mechanism.
