A Day In The Life

See snapshots of lives affected by mental health issues and find out how to share your own.

A Day in the Life project asked people with mental health issues to write about their day, four times a year.

On four dates spread out over 12 months, participants submitted blogs, which you can see on our digital screen or read at dayinthelifemh.org.uk.

Each blog answered the following question: ‘On a particular day, what made your mental health better and what made it worse?’

Starting in November last year and ending this August, people across the country wrote about their experiences on an autumn, a winter, a spring and a summer day.

The project provides a snapshot of the day-to-day lives of people with mental health issues: a lived reality that’s often sidelined even in discussions of mental health.
