About MHM:
Mental Health Month is celebrated each year in the month of October in NSW. This month encourages all of us to think about our mental health and wellbeing, regardless of whether we may have a lived experience of mental illness or not It also gives us the opportunity to understand the importance of good mental health in our everyday lives and encourages help seeking behaviours when needed.
The Theme for Mental Health Month is: Tune In. Tuning In means being present, being aware of what’s happening within you, and in the world around you. Tune In to your senses – what can you sense right now? What can you feel? Tune In to your communities – what’s happening that you can be part of, or that you can help others be part of? Tune In to stigma – how do attitudes and understandings of mental health and wellbeing impact people’s ability to live the lives they want?
Tune In to Mental Health Month and help create a world we can all Tune In to. For more information check out: https://mentalhealthmonth.wayahead.org.au/
