Mental Health Action Week
Mental Health Action Week 2001, organised by the Mental Health Foundation,
will take place Monday 16 to Sunday 22 April 2001.
Every year one in four people in the UK will experience some form of mental
health problem. Mental Health Action Week is an annual event, first started in
the 1950s, that aims to raise the public's awareness of the issues surrounding
mental health.
On Tuesday 17 April the Mental Health Foundation will launch the results of
a survey examining mental health, stigma and friendship. In addition, local
groups across the UK will be working together with the Mental Health
Foundation to organise a series of events and exhibitions, aimed at improving
mental health services across the UK.
