Wellbeing

World Mental Health Day takes place every year on the 10th of October. It’s a reminder of the need to prioritise and invest in good mental health.

This year, Mental Health Australia’s theme for World Mental Health Day is Connect with your community.  

Connecting with our communities – the people and places where we feel safe, seen and heard – can help us feel cared for and supported, which is good for our mental health. 

A community can take any shape. Community can mean:

friends, loved ones, your mob
multicultural centre
community choir
community garden
book club
running group
local volunteer group
LGBTQIA+ group

At home, work, school, in the community or online, on 10 October, Mental Health Australia encourages everyone to have conversations about mental health, reduce stigma, reach out for support – and connect with our communities.

Please find a list of mental health services and supports below.
