2022 - World Mental Health Day Campaign

This year’s World Mental Health Day campaign is encouraging everyone to make a promise to “Look after your mental health, Australia.”

In 2022, the focus of our annual campaign is awareness, belonging and connection. This October, follow our campaign calendar and register for resources and helpful tips to build and maintain positive mental health practices in your daily routine.

It is a simple call to action for the one in five Australians affected by mental illness annually, and for the many more impacted by the current COVID-19 pandemic, and the increased uncertainty and anxiety that has ensued over the last two years. 

Head over to the campaign website to make a mental health promise, hear some tips and advice from organisations and Australians, and find resources to help mark World Mental Health Day in your workplace or community.
