Today marks the start of Queensland Mental Health Week 🧠 This year, the theme is “Connect for mental health”, emphasising the proactive measures we can adopt to nurture and support positive mental health and wellbeing for ourselves and our communities 🏘 qldmentalhealthweek.org.au
Connect for mental health focuses on four areas:
💜 Connect with self: Take care of yourself, do something you enjoy, make healthy choices, and seek help when needed.
💚 Connect with community: Create supportive and inclusive environments, look after one another, and connect with culture. Show kindness and initiate connection with those who are struggling.
💜 Connect with others: Foster relationships with loved ones, friends, family, and mob. Spend time with others and make meaningful connections.
💚 Connect with nature: Take a break from technology, spend time outdoors, embrace mindfulness, and take care of the world around you.
