Tune in for mental health and wellbeing

Mental Health Month each October 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.

Mental Health Month’s theme encourages everyone to “Tune In”.

You can tune in to many things:

• Tune in to yourself – What can you sense right now? What can you feel?
• Tune in to others – What might people around you be feeling? How can we connect?
• Tune in to your community – What is happening that you can be part of, or that you can help others be part of?
• Tune in to stigma – How do attitudes and understanding of mental health and wellbeing impact on people’s ability to live the lives they want? How can we help?

Find out more about the importance of tuning in on the WayAhead website.

• SWSPHN funds a range of mental health services to address different levels of need. Visit our website to find out more about these services.
