Mental Health + Well-Being - September 1st to 30th 馃馃尭
1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives. When they do, let鈥檚 make sure they don鈥檛 have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don鈥檛 forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).
However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you鈥檙e cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:
