# [With Mental Health Awareness Week Ending, Wellbeing Shouldn’t Be a One-Off](https://cegedimrx.co.uk/blog/mental-health-awareness-week-may-be-ending)

At Cegedim Rx, Mental Health Awareness Week has been more than just a date in the calendar. It’s been a reminder of the importance of everyday self-care. Something we all need, and something we’re committed to supporting long after the week is over.

Led by our internal wellbeing team, the past few days have seen a series of thoughtful activities, resources and reflections shared across the business. We’d like to thank the team -  Andy Earnshaw, Leanne Hackett, Lorraine Lister, Jo Morris, Martyn Rackham and Rebecca Gillingham - for putting wellbeing on the agenda and making it feel approachable and personal.

Here’s what they encouraged us to explore this week:

**📱 My Possible Self** – a brilliant NHS-approved app to help manage your mood and build healthy habits. [Get it here](https://www.mypossibleself.com/)

**📱Balance** – this fantastic meditation and mindfulness app is perfect for carving out moments of calm in your day. [Get it here](https://balanceapp.com/)

**📕 Don’t Believe Everything You Think** by Joseph Nguyen – a short, reflective read on how our thoughts shape our reality. [View it here ](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60726415-don-t-believe-everything-you-think)

🎧 How to Fail by Elizabeth Day – inspiring and refreshingly honest. [Find it here](https://www.elizabethday.org/podcasts)

**📕 **10% Happier by Dan Harris – sceptic-turned-meditator, with plenty of laughs. You can find more on Dan’s website [here](http://danharris.com).

Beyond the resources, this week was also about connection. From breakfast chats and a team wellbeing walk to a lunchtime meditation and a menopause awareness session led by Jo Morris — these small, shared moments made a big impact.

**“It’s not about doing everything — it’s about doing something.”**  
That was the message from our wellbeing team this year.

In a sector where burnout is a real and rising issue, especially for healthcare workers, we know how important it is to build a culture of kindness, openness and ongoing care. As a business that supports community pharmacy across the UK, we recognise the pressures facing frontline teams and the value of looking after those who care for others.

Mental health isn’t a one-week theme. It’s a year-round priority. So, whether it’s a short walk, a five-minute check-in, or simply a reminder to be kinder to yourself - it all matters.

Let’s keep making space for it.
