Self Care Week 2025: Mind and Body
National Self-Care Week is an annual national awareness campaign which this year is November 17th to 23rd. It is dedicated to embedding support for self-care across communities, families, and generations. The core message emphasises that self-care is a vital, everyday habit for individuals and families and for ensuring the health service is there when needed.
The theme for the 2025 week is Mind & Body, encouraging people to adopt positive lifestyle choices, with a particular focus placed on the wide-ranging benefits of physical activity and movement. The Self-Care Forum supports this national effort by providing free, expertly produced resources. These materials include Self-Care Aware Fact Sheets.

Mary Fickling, co-director at PhysioPod® UK, and Gaynor Leech, Patient Advocate and Founder of LWO Community, have jointly created these videos for Self Care Week. The Self-Care Forum acknowledges Mary Fickling and Gaynor Leech as nominated national self-care champions. Please support this initiative and join Mary and Gaynor by sharing their efforts in social media this week using the following hastags:
