World Suicide Prevention Day and World Mental Health Day 2023
Each year, World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) takes place on 10th September, and World Mental Health Day (WMHD) takes place on 10th October.
The World Health Organisation sets the theme for #WSPD, which this year is ‘Creating Hope through Action’, and the World Federation for Mental Health set the theme for WMHD, and this year it is ‘Mental health is a universal human right’.
To support #WSPD and #WMHD, St Helens Wellbeing Service has put together a month of social media messages and a timetable of events locally
Let’s act together to support mental health and wellbeing. Connect with us. We’re here for you!

Happy to Chat Benches Getting outdoors in nature and connecting with other people is very beneficial to your mental health. We have worked with the local community to identify 25 benches across the Borough including 2 all-weather benches at Sherdley Park. These benches will be places to stop and chat with others. On 2nd Oct from 10.30am to 2pm, and 3rd Oct from 9.30am to 3pm, our Mental Health Team will be out and about around our Happy to Chat benches. Look out for us and come and have a chat!
