May is Mental Health Awareness Month and now, more than ever, it is vital to have conversations around mental health. This year, the theme is ‘community’ – strong communities offer practical and emotional assistance during difficult times, helping people to build their resilience and to find purpose through shared experiences and mutual support.
So, this issue we are shining a light on the gravity of mental health and encouraging open conversations, reducing stigma and promoting wellbeing, as we highlight the power and importance of the hairdressing community. Please take time to read our special on page 18 as it raises awareness and discusses the impact of mental health on our working lives.
On a lighter note, I am here to give you your ‘one month to go’ reminder to enter our Pro Hair Awards 2025 – there is a category for everyone!
