2024 Theme
Useful links
In 2024, Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) will be held on 23 - 29 September.
MHAW is run annually by the Mental Health Foundation and has been since 1993. MHAW is endorsed by the World Federation for Mental Health and is marked in over 150 countries at different times of the year.
While MHAW is an annual campaign, it is also a gentle reminder to actively prioritise and nurture our mental health beyond the week itself. We believe that people should connect with and tautoko/support each other, while continuing the kōrero about mental health and wellbeing year-round.
The 2024 MHAW theme will be announced closer to the time, make sure you're signed up to our mailing list to receive exclusive updates on the theme, resources, competitions and events.

through knowledge, comes understanding
Mā te mārama, ka matau,
through understanding, comes wisdom
Mā te matau, ka ora
through wisdom, comes wellbeing
