Mental Health Awareness Events To Recognise In Your Workplace for 2026
Mental Health is not just a personal matter; it must also be recognised within the workplace. By making employers aware of the importance of wellbeing, they can create environments where employees can feel seen, heard, and helped. Through raising awareness of key mental health days, organisations can take meaningful steps towards building supportive and inclusive spaces. According to a recent CIPD study, it was found that mental health is the leading cause of long-term work absences, exemplifying the need for better internal well-being recognition within the workplace.
At The Mental Health Speakers Agency, we have collated the top awareness days, weeks, and months taking place in 2026. For support or further information, contact a member of our team to discuss your event and find the perfect speaker who will resonate and impact your audience.
