HelpingMinds celebrates Mental Health Week and Carers Week

This year, the theme of WA Mental Health Week, 7 – 14 October, is all about community and the various settings we go to every day where we can support the wellbeing of ourselves and others: Mental health starts where we live, learn, work and play

National Carers Week, 14 – 20 October, is about recognising and celebrating the unpaid carers in our community. At HelpingMinds we support the families and individuals that care for someone close to them who lives with mental health challenges.

This year HelpingMinds have put together some events and resources for Mental Health Week and Carers Week that may help you or someone you know with their own mental health.

Our events are a great opportunity to try something new and to meet other people that are experiencing similar situations.There is a range of activities so hopefully there is something that suits your taste. If not, don’t worry, we have events on all year round – please visit our w ebsite to find out more.

Minds Matter Booklet

People often feel like they don’t have time to look after their own mental health, or they don’t know how to discuss mental health with someone close to them.

So we have created a booklet that has lots of useful tips about how to look after your own mental health and how to start a conversation about mental health with someone close to you.

It's also filled with information and statistics about mental health and stories from people living with or supporting those with mental health challenges (all their stories can be watched here).
