September – R U OK? Day 2024
Mental health is a term we’re all familiar with. We may have good mental health, or we may suffer from a mental illness. Fundamentally, our mental health is the cornerstone of our overall wellbeing, influencing how we think, feel, and act. Prioritising our mental health helps prevent or ameliorate issues like stress, anxiety, and depression. By valuing our mental health, we aim to promote a supportive environment where you feel comfortable and empowered to seek help, share experiences, and thrive – especially during R U OK? Day and beyond!
