National Self-Care Week - 17-23 November 2025
National Self-Care Week is the UK-wide annual awareness week that focuses on embedding support for self-care across communities, families and generations.
The theme is “Mind and Body” and organisations are encouraged to use Self-Care Week as a hook to help people practise self-care for a healthier, happier life. This year, whilst the Self-Care Forum will be promoting the entire self-care continuum a particular focus will be on the wide ranging benefits of physical activity and movement.
Branding for Self-Care Week
We all know the importance of branding, and here are images to help people instantly recognise your activity is part of National Self-Care Week. It also means your initiative is easily identifiable as part of the wider national public promotions.

We hope our Welsh colleagues will get involved in Wythnos Hunanofal and have produced a series of posters in the Welsh language as well as the icon itself.

Press Release
To reach a wider audience with your Self-Care Week messages, it can be helpful to approach your local media (press and broadcast) with details about your activities. You might like to do this by sending a press release including a quote from a local pharmacist, nurse, GP, councillor, mayor, MP or another personality in the local area. If you would like a quote from our Self-Care Forum chair, or president, do get in touch.
Social media assets
Social media is always an important part of promoting Self-Care Week messages, and keep an eye out for assets nearer the time. If you want to highlight anything please use #SelfCareWeek and #MindBody if possible.
