“It’s a reminder that we are stronger together, and that connection, compassion, and support are vital to our mental wellbeing.
“I encourage people of all ages to take part in the wide range of events on offer throughout the programme.
“Let’s prioritise our mental health and wellness. Not just this week, but every day.”
