This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week, with the theme for 2025 focusing on one of the most powerful tools for wellbeing: community. In the digital age, this connection increasingly plays out online. Around 85% of young people access online communities daily. Yet while these spaces can provide a sense of belonging and support, they can also expose users to harmful or disturbing content, something 68% of young people report encountering. Abuse and bullying online remain commonplace, and tackling that toxic behaviour must be a shared responsibility.
As we reflect on the challenges to good mental health, it’s clear that genuine human connection is part of the solution. Whether online or in person, let’s commit to strengthening positive communities and refusing to contribute to negative or harmful ones. And if you're still searching for a place where you feel you truly belong, Naturism might be worth exploring.
