Mental Health Action Day is around the corner on Thursday, May 15, 2025. The annual event is an opportunity to join thousands of partners who are supporting their employees' mental health. Here's everything you need to know.

2025 Theme: 'Check In With A.S.K.'

Strengthening our relationships can help us stay resilient in the face of physical and mental stress, and this year's Mental Health Action Day theme — "Check In With A.S.K." — offers a way to build those connections and provide emotional support to the people in our lives. 

Start with awareness — noticing someone who needs support.

Then, take action by using A.S.K.:

Acknowledge their experiences and feelings.

Support by asking what they need.

Keep in touch regularly to show you care.

Learn more and get action ideas in our new employer toolkit, below.
