Mental Talk

4–6 September 2025.

Mental Talk 2025 opens its doors to Denmark’s most important platform for dialogue on mental health – a People’s Meeting in the heart of Herning.

Over the course of three days, the city centre and Kulturgården will be transformed into a hub of more than 80 free events, where debates, personal stories, art, culture, and tools for wellbeing come together in a comprehensive and inclusive programme.

The programme is wide-ranging: from moving conversations about the body, art, and presence – featuring yoga, music, and mindfulness – to atmospheric storytelling concerts and mindfulness concerts with Ensemble MidtVest. There are also targeted professional contributions such as the business conference on mental health and diagnoses in the workplace, where leaders, relatives, and employees can gain new insights and tools.

Mental Talk stands out by focusing on both community and the individual experience – how we break taboos, share experiences, and create space for reflection and mental wellbeing through dialogue, culture, and involvement. The event brings together politicians, professionals, artists, and volunteers with the ambition of making mental health a public conversation – not just in Herning, but across the entire country.
