Mental Health Europe is hosting the second edition of the European Mental Health Week on 10 – 16 May 2021. This year’s theme ‘Mental Health Matters’ will shine a spotlight on mental health as a high-profile societal issue as well as a deeply personal experience for everyone during the pandemic.

European Mental Health Week is a pan-European initiative that aims to raise awareness about the importance of mental health in our everyday lives. Set up and run by Europe’s largest independent mental health NGO Mental Health Europe (MHE), the second edition of the European Mental Health Awareness Week will take place from 10 May until 16 May 2021.

This year’s theme ‘Mental Health Matters’ will shed a spotlight on mental health as a high-profile societal issue as well as a deeply personal experience for everyone during the pandemic and beyond. Over a year of pandemic, lockdowns and coronavirus restrictions have put a strain on many people’s mental health. We are all experiencing a different pandemic. Some experience the loss of a loved one, miss friends or family; others lost their workplace security and feel lonely, stressed and uncertain about the future. Now, more than ever, our mental health matters.
