Mental Health Awareness Week was a time-limited charity event. In this event, the player gathered charity tokens for Kat, Zoed, and Lau'Ra, found north of the Lumbridge Crater.
A second instance for the event was released on 7 October 2019, running until the end of 13 October. A third instance was released on 18 May 2020, running until the end of 24 May.
Players will be able to check in with in-game charity representatives outside of Lumbridge Crater at any time during the period. Each day they'll get the chance to answer some questions about mental health, and will be rewarded with lamps.
Handing in charity tokens will unlock a variety of rewards. Certain skills or actions yield varying amounts of extra tokens. Both the rewards and bonus actions change yearly.
Each time the player logged in during the event, they were greeted with one of the following announcements:
- Head to the north of Lumbridge Crater now in order to assist the charity representatives in Gielinor.
- Representatives from CPSL Mind, The Prince's Trust and You Are RAD require your help - head to the north of Lumbridge Crater now!
Event noticeboards and the Event interface could be used to teleport to the north of the crater for the duration of the event.
All proceeds from purchasing the Defender of the Mind outfit, Defender of the Mind Cape, Warden of the Mind outfit, Warden of the Mind Cape, Angelic Inari pet and RuneCoins in the reward shop were donated to three charities to promote mental health awareness:
- CPSL Mind
- Prince's Trust
- YMCA - England & Wales
In 2019 the YMCA was changed to You Are RAD, and Scoop and Percy were added into the charity shop.
In 2020 the Defender of the Mind wings and brain plushie were added into the charity shop.
Tokens can be gained through any skilling activity at a rate of approximately 25 tokens for every three minutes. Archaeology gives between 28 to 33 tokens for training it, and 9-11 tokens for every artefact contributed to a collection with a bonus 45-55 for completing a collection. As long as players perform a task once every three minutes, they will receive this reward. Between 74 and 98 tokens are rewards for every daily challenge completed.
