Mental Health Awareness Week Speakers
What is Mental Health Awareness Week?
Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 runs from 13th-19th May, and is hosted by the Mental Health Foundation.
The awareness day provides a fantastic opportunity for UK-business and event organises to raise awareness and focus on helping their employees and audience adopt good mental well-being, and provide them with a safe space to discuss mental health challenges.
Mental Health Awareness Week Facts!
Over the two decades it has been running, themes have included the connections between mental health and nature, kindness, loneliness, sleep and body image.
To really understand why good mental health in the workplace is important, we can take a look at some key stats:
- Almost 15% of people will experience a mental health problem in the workplace
- Over 12% of all sickness days in the UK are attributed to a mental health problem
- By promoting better mental health support in the workplace, UK businesses can save up to £8 billion a year
Find an Inspirational Mental Health Awareness Week Speaker
At Great British Speakers, we are proud to be working alongside a team of professional mental health and wellbeing speakers who would be perfect for your next mental health event. They all have personal and/or professional reasons why mental health and well-being is such an important conversation to have.
It is believed that before the COVID pandemic, one-in-eight people suffered from some form of mental health issue. However, afterwards, that figure is said to have risen by a quarter, a rise that is still present today thanks to the cost-of-living crisis, limited NHS provisions, global wars and inequality.
If you are running an event for Mental Health Awareness Week, or you’re just interested in boosting your employee’s mental health and well-being, then the Great British Speakers team is here to help, with a vast database of Mental Health Awareness Week speakers to choose from.
Featured Mental Health Awareness Week Speaker – Anna Williamson
Anna Williamson is an experienced TV presenter, radio broadcaster, and Mental Health Awareness Week Speaker, but behind closed doors, she suffered from an almost crippling battle with her mental health. Her experience with Generalised Anxiety Disorder and post-natal depression, and her recovery, she realised that there is still a massive stigma around poor mental health and well-being.
As a result of this, she was determined to use her own experiences to help others and became an official ambassador for MIND, a counsellor and life coach, and achieved Master NLP Practitioner status.

Hire a Mental Health Awareness Week Speaker
As reported by MIND, approximately one in every four people will experience a mental health problem in a year, with one in six reporting one every single week. Due to worries about employment, money and global inequalities, this figure is set to rise, and it won’t be long before we can all say we know someone suffering.
This is why it is so vital to get everyone educated and talking about their mental health. By hiring a professional and dedicated Mental Health Awareness Week speaker, you can rest assured your employees will be left with the tools of the trade to support their own, and their colleagues’, mental health.
