Getting out and about for Mental Health Awareness Week

Veretec is celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week.

This year the theme is ‘Nature’ and how connecting with the natural world can support good mental health. As part of this we encouraged everyone to get out and about to enjoy the fresh air and take some photos of nature and the environment!

Today, we have dedicated our Instagram page to MHAW and will share some beautiful and creative images from the Veretec team. Have a look here.

“Mental Health Awareness Week has grown to be one of the biggest awareness weeks in the UK. This year the theme is on nature and its central role for our mental health.  Since the beginning of the pandemic, millions of us turned to nature to help us get through lockdowns and our research shows that good mental health depends on us being able to connect with nature in some way and its power in both prevention of and recovery from poor mental health.”
