is a chance to talk openly, raise awareness and recognise people’s experiences of mental health challenges. This year’s theme is Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.

Taking time to listen can help break down these barriers. Open, honest conversations help people feel heard, understood, supported and less alone — because being heard can change lives.
