Mental Health Foundation’s Mental Health Awareness Week: 09 – 16 May 2022

Racing Welfare has today announced plans for their 2022 Mental Health Awareness Week campaign, beginning on Monday 9^th May. The charity leads the horseracing industry’s response to the national initiative which is run by the Mental Health Foundation and which this year follows the theme of loneliness.

Tying into this theme, workplaces across the horseracing and thoroughbred breeding industries will be encouraged throughout the week to set aside time during their working day to take part in the #TeaAndTalk initiative. The initiative promotes an awareness of not just your own mental wellbeing, but the wellbeing of others around you with simple yet impactful action.

Mental Health Awareness Week aims to promote open conversations on all aspects of mental health with Racing Welfare’s campaign specifically raising awareness of the mental health services offered by the charity.
