Mental Health Month: Let’s Check In on Our Wellbeing🧠☀️

G'day everyone! 👋 October is Mental Health Month across Australia, and it's a top time to check in on our mental wellbeing. Mental Health Month is an opportunity to pause and reflect on how we’re really doing — not just physically, but emotionally too. 🌱

In our busy lives, it’s easy to overlook mental health, but even small steps can make a big difference.

💬 Why Mental Health Month Matters

Taking care of your mental health doesn’t have to be complicated. Even small actions can make a big difference:

• Take a few minutes for yourself 🧘‍♀️

• Reach out to a friend or loved one ☎️

• Share how you’re feeling or listen to someone else 💬

• Spend some time outdoors 🌞
  

These moments of connection and self-care can help build resilience and strengthen our communities.

💪 Seeking Support Is Strength

If you’re finding things tough, know that you’re not alone — and reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Here are some trusted mental health support services available across Australia:

🧩 NDIS & Mental Health Support

Did you know that the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) also provides support for people living with a psychosocial disability — a term used for mental health conditions that impact daily life?

If you or someone you know is living with a mental health condition, you may be eligible for NDIS supports.
