October is Mental Health Month, a chance for everyone to come together to focus on mental health, learn about stigma and create safe, caring communities.
Mental Health Month urges us to understand the importance of good mental health in our everyday lives and encourages help-seeking behaviours when needed.
The theme for this year, “Let’s Talk About It,” encourages us to consider our mental health and overall well-being, regardless of our personal experiences with mental illness.
This Mental Health Month, think about ways you can connect with the people around you. Whether it is taking time to care for yourself, caring for someone close to you, supporting your community to be more mental health aware, or being a mental health community ally, making a world free from mental health stigma and more inclusive for people who are going through tough times takes all of us!
In South Western Sydney one in six people have experienced mental ill health in a 12-month period, compared to one in seven people in NSW. One in five people in South Western Sydney report having high or very high psychological distress, a higher rate compared to NSW with one in six people.
SWSPHN funds a range of mental health services to support those in our community impacted by mental ill health. These services have been co-designed with our local community and service providers to meet the specific needs of South Western Sydney.
