You know who is looking after all the other big things. But who’s looking after your mental health?

This World Mental Health Day theme is Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.

We’re encouraging you to:

- Speak up: Don’t be afraid to tell someone what you need, whether that’s a listening hear or time away from work. You’re not alone and you’re allowed to ask for help.

- Get help: We offer free confidential support for dentists. Get in touch with us.

- Be a listening ear: If you notice someone around you is struggling, don’t be afraid to check in on them.

Not just today, but every day of the year.

Your voice matters. If you need to speak to someone, DHST is here for you.

📣 We're delighted to announce that board members from the Association of Dental Implantology have chosen to fundraise for the DHST by undertaking an epic 200-mile bike ride ahead of their 40th Anniversary conference in 2027!

Both organisations are marking 40 years of providing support and advocacy for colleagues across the UK, and we're grateful to our industry peers for continued support over that time through initiatives such as this.

🚴 Find out more about the challenge, and show your support for DrAndrew Little, Dr Adam Bzeu and the rest of the ADI team by sharing this post and making a donation here: https://givewheel.com/fundraising/20210/200-miles-to-congress-cycling-for-two-incredible-c/

The DHST has three core pillars to its work:
‣ Intervention, assessments & treatment pathways
‣ Ongoing monitoring and support
‣ Campaigning to educate and raise awareness

Hear from Eddie Crouch, Martin MacEachen, Rosie Pearce, Vania Hassan, Richard Jones and Joe Ingham about why our conference was timely and much needed.

They highlight that:
‣ British Dental Association research shows stress, anxiety and burnout is a growing problem amongst dentists.
‣ Dentists in need may not seek support due to pride or shame getting in the way, but the risks of not doing so could mean larger impacts on careers and livelihoods than if issues are dealt with.
‣ Building a supportive practice environment is essential for wellbeing.
‣ Don't be frightened to reach out for support - services such as ours exist to help. We're free, we're independent, we're expert and we're totally confidential.

In June 2026 we mark the 40th Anniversary of the Dentists' Health Support Trust. Founded by dentists for dentists who were struggling with alcohol misuse, over the past four decades we've expanded our service to cover substance abuse and mental health by providing professional one-to-one support to dentists across the UK via our helpline. The helpline is confidential, it's free, and most importantly we're independent, funded by donations.

On June 18th we brought together colleagues from across dentistry to discuss a topic that concerns us all - What is the mental state of dentistry in 2026? We also discussed how the industry can better support dentists to prevent them needing us, and services like ours. It's clear that we all want dentists to be well, but how do we get there?

We'll be sharing the outcomes of those conversations in the coming weeks, we're grateful to everyone who came along and freely shared their insights and ideas, which we're busy collating. For now, thank you to our Trustees, guest speaker Eddie Crouch, all who attended, and all who support our work.

At the conference we asked guests to make a pledge, and one we'd like to share is 'spread the word' - the DHST is here, please help us reach dentists who need our support. If you'd like to know how you can get involved, contact us via the email address on our website.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, the theme is Action. At the DHST, we support dentists in distress year-round, and we know that creating meaningful change requires concrete steps to protect ourselves and our colleagues.

So, let's take action together. Swipe through to see how we can move from awareness of mental health challenges to taking action to better manage them across the dental profession. ➡️

The DHST provides vital, free, and strictly confidential support for dentists facing mental health or addiction challenges. If you are in a position to help, please consider making a donation to ensure we can continue providing this lifeline to the profession.
