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.
Ways you can get involved:
- Become an ally, learn how you can support your loved ones
- Donating to help those in need of urgent intervention
There are events hosted online and all over NSW throughout the month: https://mentalhealthmonth.wayahead.org.au/events/
Thrive GP will be circulating resources throughout the month to help raise awareness and educate our patients/community
