September in the UK is more than just the start of autumn and a new school term — it’s also an important month for raising awareness around mental health and wellbeing. With changing routines, shorter days on the horizon, and a shift in seasonal energy, it’s a natural time to pause, reflect, and prioritise mental wellness.

As the calendar turns to September, the familiar “ber months” begin—September, October, November, and December. For Filipinos, this season marks the start of Christmas anticipation, while in the UK, it brings crisp air, earlier nights, and the beginning of a cozy atmosphere that lasts through the end of the year. Whether you’re a Filipino expat or a local resident, the ber months in the UK are the perfect time to embrace warmth, community, and tradition.
