22.01.2022 OCTOBER is Mental health awareness month Tuning In means being present. It means being aware of what’s happening within you, and in the world around you. TUNE IN to your senses What can you sense right now? ... What can you feel? TUNE IN to your community What’s happening around you that you can be part of What can you help others be part of? TUNE IN to stigma How do attitudes and understandings of mental health and wellbeing impact people’s ability to live the lives they want? Taking a moment to TUNE IN can help still and focus your mind, it can help you understand what’s going on for you and others. Tuning in can help you find a new perspective, and it can help you reflect and be present. It can help build self-awareness, help make effective choices, reduce the impact of worry, and build positive connections. Tuning In to communities and the impact of mental health stigma can help ensure that people who need support have safe places to talk about their experiences and reach out. #SSPAN #prevention #listen #SuicidePrevention #Lifeline #RUOK #youareimportant

09.01.2022 It's our national day of action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, Are you OK? if someone in your world is struggling with life's ups and downs. You don’t have to be an expert to keep the conversation going when someone says they’re not OK. By knowing what to say you can help someone feel supported and access appropriate help long before they’re in crisis, which can make a really positive difference to their life For more info head to
