This year, Mental Health Awareness Week is running from 10 May to 16 May.
Marking the event, the Duchess of York shared an honest message on her Instagram page, as she sat on the set of Storytime with Fergie and Friends
“The most important thing about Mental Health Week, it’s not just this week, it’s just all the time,” she reminded her followers.
“So, the most important thing I’ve always said in whether it’s the pandemic, COVID-19, or whatever, however, or whenever it is, please look after your mental health.
“Please understand the different thoughts you have, the different ways you act in a day and just be gentle with yourself and take mini-steps to learn what it is that’s causing you great discomfort.
“
She added:
“It is okay to have a little bruise or a little break in your mind because your mind is part of your body and your body’s part of yourself.
So take care, nurture and be gentle. Lots of love and big hugs.”
The post received huge waves of support, with many praising the Duchess for sharing such an essential message.
