Mental Health Week is this week, 10th -16th October. Stress Less Day is Wednesday 13th October, and the Mental Health Week Walk is on this Friday 15th October from 10am-2pm at the River Torrens in town.
Mental health is something that concerns us all. One in five people in our community will experience mental health problems. That is someone you know, someone you work with, someone you love. If it is you, then you know how isolating and challenging it is to deal with mental health issues.
Many people feel that they have to bear this burdon alone, and keep it a secret. It shouldn't be that way.
By having this issue acknowledged openly, and by having community facilities and connections enhanced, we can all work together for everyone's health and well-being.
Community gardens, playgrounds, public space, safe and clean streets, trees, accessible cultural events and noticeboards, are all part of the way that Council can contribute to better mental health for everyone.
