2024 Mental Health Month Theme ‘Let’s Talk About It’
In NSW, Mental Health Month is observed annually throughout October.
This year’s theme, 'Let’s Talk About It,' prompts us all to reflect on our mental health and overall wellbeing, irrespective of whether we’ve personally encountered mental illness. It emphasises the significance of maintaining good mental health in our daily lives and encourages a proactive approach to seeking help when necessary.
At the start of next term the Black Dog Institute will be talking to our students about the importance of positive mental health. Year 10 will also address this topic in the Term 5 program at the end of the year.
