10-17th October 2020
1 in 5 Australians are affected by mental illness annually, yet many don’t seek help because of stigma.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, prioritising mental health and wellbeing has been more important than ever. Mental Health Week’s message is simple: “Look after your mental health, Australia.”
We are committed to taking the stigma away from talking about mental health and wellbeing. We believe you need to look after your mind as much as your body. If you need help or just someone to talk to, there are a number of organisations waiting for you!
