Share the Journey in Mental Health Month

28/09/2018 in Uncategorized

Mental Health Month poster with slogan 'Share the journey'

October is Mental Health Month in New South Wales, Victoria, and the ACT. Mental Health Month is an opportunity to raise awareness around mental health & wellbeing

The important message of Mental Health Month is that we should all ‘share the journey’: connecting with others helps to promote our wellbeing.

Sharing the Journey means:

– telling your friends and family when things are a bit tough

– finding others who have been through something similar

– connecting with your community

– finding a health professional you trust – connecting on social media

– giving your pet a cuddle

– organisations working together for the best possible wellbeing of everyone

– sharing your stories with others

– creating a sense of connectedness within your family, your community, your neighbourhood

– reaching out to someone who might need your support

 

The Junction Neighbourhood Centre offers a variety of activities, in October and throughout the year, that enable you share the journey with others – craft, exercise, gardening,  playgroups, and more

Here are some of them.
