European Mental Health Awareness Week takes place from 19- 25th May. Explore our expert resources to strengthen your sense of community in an ever-changing world.

Let's get started

Building Community Matters

Genuine social connections and community are crucial for our mental well-being. They help us feel seen and supported – and strengthen our resilience, both at work and in our personal lives.

Our world is constantly in motion: new technologies, ongoing political and financial uncertainty, and social change shape our daily lives – often making it harder to feel truly connected. That’s why OpenUp is committed to supporting you during European Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 with expert resources and practical tools to strengthen your community where it matters most.
