Mental Health Awareness Week begins (Australia)

Mental Health Awareness Week (Australia) runs between the 9th to 16th of October, and draws attention to mental health issues, encouraging individuals to reach out and seek help. Each Australian state and territory adopts their own theme, holding events each year. The campaign seeks to encourage Australians and the broader global community to look after their mental health by providing access to support and psychological services, particularly after the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
