From October 6 to 10, 2025, Germany will observe the "Woche der seelischen Gesundheit" (Mental Health Week), a nationwide initiative aimed at enhancing awareness and understanding of mental health issues. This annual event incorporates a variety of activities, workshops, and information sessions designed to foster conversation and provide resources to individuals dealing with mental health challenges.

The campaign promotes a comprehensive approach to mental health, touching on aspects such as prevention, awareness, and the importance of seeking help. Events are planned across numerous regions, encouraging participation from local organizations and communities. In Brandenburg, for instance, specific programs will be announced that focus on educating the public about mental well-being and available support channels (74471).
