This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, with many events to encourage us to talk more about mental health issues.
Locally, the Royal Borough of Greenwich have signed the Time to change Pledge, which is a commitment to mental well-being in the workplace and to make sure that employees who are facing mental health problems feel supported.
The charity, Mind, say mental health problems can affect anyone, any day of the year. But this week is a great time to have a chat with a friend, family member or colleague and have think about your own well-being too.
