Over 8 million people in the UK experience some form of anxiety. That’s why this Mental Health Awareness Week we’re talking about how tough anxiety can be. Here’s some stuff you can do to take action this week.

It’s the quickest way to take action this Mental Health Awareness Week. At CALM we know how quickly anxiety can pile up. £8 could help fund a potentially life-saving conversation to our helpline.
Mental Health Awareness Week’s just seven days in the calendar
We’re here today and every day with support and advice, but this week’s a great excuse to chat about all things anxiety. There's loads to get involved with, from candid chats with Self-Space, Jaaq and Payplan to the immersive exhibition Monolith at Outernet London which brings the feelings of anxiety to life.
What better way to stick it to anxiety than taking on a challenge for CALM? 20% of calls to our helpline and webchat have been about anxiety over the last year, so take on a challenge and you’ll be helping to raise vital cash for our life-saving services.
