EVERY MIND MATTERS

Public Health England, in partnership with the NHS has launched Every Mind Matters, a new way of empowering people to manage and improve their mental health. The campaign prioritises sleep, anxiety, low mood and stress as these are the most common mental health concerns where there is good evidence for self-help. They also work with trauma, obsessions and compulsions, social anxiety and panic. In addition, there is an area of the campaign dedicated to mental well-being.
