The Real Issue: National Mental Health Month

The Real Issue: National Mental Health Month

Author: Prasads Home and Garden October 11, 2022 Duration: 14:04

Hi Guys its been a while but what better way to jump back into it then talking about mental health. 

National Mental Health Month is an initiative of the Mental Health Foundation Australia (MHFA) to advocate for and raise awareness of Australian mental health. It is an important time where the Australian community comes together to raise awareness and promote better mental health for all. Throughout this month, many events have been organised in each state of Australia aiming to attract and unite Australians of all ages and backgrounds to raise awareness and promote better mental health for all.

According to census, “45% of Australians aged 16-85 years have at some point in life experienced a mental illness. Yet 65% percent of people who are struggling mentally don’t take serious steps, especially men.” Everyone’s mental health varies during their life and can move back and forth along their own personal range between positive and healthy at one end through to severe symptoms or conditions that impact on everyday life at the other. Therefore, it is important for men to take care of their mental well- being. Taking this into consideration, in South Australia we have decided to host a ‘National Symposium on Men and Mental Health'.
