World Mental Health Day takes place globally every year on 10th October.
The theme for 2023 is ‘mental health is a universal human right’.
The day provides an opportunity to raise awareness around mental health, highlight the positive work that partners and stakeholders are doing across different sectors and create support for further change.

Trauma-informed practice training
Thrive LDN has been working with Nicola Lester Psychological Trauma Consultancy to develop free, online trauma-informed practice training to support individuals and organisations.
To complete all the trauma-informed practice training takes close to 5 hours in total. Thousands of people have already accessed the training and building on feedback, we have developed a bitesize approach to help make things more manageable and less overwhelming.
New for World Mental Health Day, you can now subscribe to an eight-week programme and you’ll receive the training chapter-by-chapter direct into your inbox. This means spending around 30 minutes per week engaging with the training.
By week 8 participants will have fully completed the training programme and will be awarded gold level status ‘Committed to Trauma Informed Practice’.
#ZeroSuicideLDN campaign
We are continuing to encourage partners to support the #ZeroSuicideLDN campaign and help promote the Zero Suicide Alliance’s free suicide prevention training.
You can share your support for the campaign by using the social copy provided in this toolkit which we have updated for autumn and winter months.
Additionally, follow Hounslow’s example by sharing your own videos and pictures with our training posters. All local borough posters are available to download as well as translated versions too.
If you’d like to request your own A2 hard copy poster(s), please contact info@staging.thriveldn.co.uk.
