That the Parliament acknowledges Mental Health Awareness Week, which runs from 10 to 16 May 2021; understands that Mental Health UK is asking the public to immerse themselves in the "5 Ways to Wellbeing" while also reconnecting with nature; understands that the "5 Ways to Wellbeing" include connect, take notice, give, be active and keep learning; notes that Mind is also asking individuals to share on social media why they are fighting for mental health, to help create a movement for change and, in addition, is asking people to donate to their cause; further notes that the COVID-19 pandemic has put pressure on NHS services and charitable services such as Mental Health UK and Mind, and wishes everyone who takes part in this endeavour all the best.
