Mental Health Awareness Week 2026
For Mental Health Awareness Week (11th to 17th May), we have a reminder that many sight loss organisations provide resources and support to help people with sight loss. These include telephone helplines, befriending, access to professional counselling and support groups.
You can find out more on WCB’s Perspectif portal.
During the week, many organisations will be posting advice and information on Facebook using #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, and the Macular Society website has published some 'Top Tips' to help people living with a degenerative eye condition look after their emotional well-being.
