10th October 2025
For World Mental Health Day, we’re highlighting the powerful and honest story of Kaz—a carer supporting a loved one with severe mental health difficulties. Her experience sheds light on the emotional toll, the isolation, and the strength it takes to keep going when the system doesn’t always work.
Kaz’s story is a reminder that behind every diagnosis is a family navigating complex realities—often without enough support.

Let’s use this day to listen, learn, and stand with carers who are often carrying more than we know.
World Mental Health Day takes place every year on 10 October. It’s a reminder of the importance of good mental health and the need to prioritise and invest in good mental health.
