Good mental health and wellbeing starts with you

Conversations about mental health are difficult, but for some they are life-saving. Many Londoners are already having these talks. We want to help make sure you can approach them with confidence and compassion.

Here’s what you can do. Take the pledge to champion positive mental health below. In doing so, you join thousands of Londoners who are making a difference to mental health and wellbeing in their own communities.

By signing up below, you’ll receive regular information, including the latest wellbeing training, resources and events, inspiration from fellow Londoners and updates on the work we’re doing at City Hall to better support mental health.

All we ask is that you pass on what you learn to better support those around you!

When you sign up above, you’ll receive tools and resources to best support yourself and others right to your inbox. Here’s a preview of what you can expect:

The Mayor’s ambition is that Londoners share in a city with great mental health. By speaking openly about his own experiences and encouraging others to do the same, the Mayor seeks to challenge mental health stigma and remind Londoners that they are never alone.  

For the latest on City Hall’s mental health and wellbeing policy work read the Mayor’s update on Healthy Minds in his Health Inequalities Strategy, reflecting on the fantastic work taking place to support recovery from the devastating mental health impacts of the pandemic. The Strategy outlines how mental health and wellbeing are increasingly central to so many areas of work at City Hall – from arts and culture to support through the cost of living crisis to training in education settings.
