Check out the wellbeing awareness days for October. Why? Awareness days are a great way to boost your brand and get in front of new audiences. They can also act as inspiration for created content on topics that you’re knowledgeable about or to re-share some older content to bring it up to date by using the relevant hashtag.

It takes time, though, to plough through all the weird and wonderful awareness days that are out there to pick out those that best suit a wellbeing business. So, to make life easier for you, I’ve done it for you. Here are a hand-picked list of awareness days for October that fit all sorts of wellbeing businesses, whether you’re a coach, counsellor or working in another capacity in the mental wellbeing space.

Choose the ones that best fit your business, add the relevant hashtag to curated and created content to further your reach on social media. And use the awareness days, weeks and month to join in conversations with others – you can search the hashtags to find your people.
