National Schizophrenia Awareness Day (UK)

National Schizophrenia Awareness Day is dedicated to raising awareness about schizophrenia, a complex mental health condition. Recognised annually on May 24th, it provides a focused opportunity for individuals, healthcare professionals, and organisations to engage in activities and discussions aimed at increasing understanding and support for those affected by schizophrenia. Various events and campaigns across the UK include educational workshops and community gatherings in order to dispel myths and reduce the stigma associated with schizophrenia, while also highlighting the latest advancements in treatment and support.


By celebrating this day, communities send a powerful message of acceptance and understanding to those living with schizophrenia. It also encourages open conversations about mental health, reminding us that mental health conditions do not discriminate and can affect anyone. This helps to ensure that people with schizophrenia receive the compassion and support they need to lead fulfilling lives.
