The Mental Health Awards 2026.
The Mental Health Awards; 2026.
https://thementalhealthawards.com/
[The Mental Health Awards are a celebration of successful interventions and inspirational stories of people who have experienced recovery. Since 2019, organisations, services and individuals have been awarded for their relentless work toward making a difference in their communities. Deadline: 30 May 2026.]
The Mental Elf; 2026.

Another video claims trauma rewires your brain in ways therapists won’t tell you about. It feels relatable, perhaps even reassuring – but is it accurate, and can it be trusted? A new systematic review finds that mental health and neurodivergence-related misinformation is highest on TikTok, but quality varies widely across all platforms.]
