This week is National Mental Health Awareness Week, from 5 – 12 October 2014 people across Australia are invited to help raise awareness about mental health.

This week provides crucial opportunities for the Australian community, both industry and general public to promote, support and encouraging people to maximise their health potential in particular emotional & social well-being.

This year’s Mental Health Week theme is Celebrate, Connect, Grow.

The Mental Health Commission are encouraging people to celebrate the positive events in your life, connect with others by paying attention to your close relationships and grow by expanding your horizons and trying something new.

The 6th Australian Rural and Remote Mental Health Symposium theme, The Practitioner’s Voice, seeks to give voice to practitioners who are faced with these challenges on a regular basis. Be a part of the discussion by registering for the symposium to be held 12-14 November 2014 at the Commercial Club Albury.
