Next week week is Mental Health Awareness Week, running from 15 to 21 May. This year's theme is 'anxiety'.

Anxiety is a normal emotion in us all, but sometimes it can get out of control and become a mental health problem.

Lots of things can lead to feelings of anxiety, including exam pressures, relationships, starting a new job (or losing one) or other big life events. We can also get anxious when it comes to things to do with money and not being able to meet our basic needs, like heating our home or buying food.

Our Health and Wellbeing team are holding numerous events throughout the week to help support your mental health.
