World Mental Health Day Event

In light of World Mental Health Day (10/10) we are hosting this workshop on Mental Health Awareness.

This will be a chance for you to join us in the conversation about the importance of mental health. We will spend time exploring the below topics as well as discussing the theme for World Mental Health Day 2025.

The 90 minute session will be a blend of anonymous polls, videos, activities and chat engagement and will cover:

- What is mental health?

- Explore the impact of mental health issues and stigma

- Some basic ways to look after our wellbeing (mental, physical and social)

- An introduction to the stress container concept and tool

- Noticing signs of poor mental health in ourselves and others

- Gaining confidence to support others

It'll also be an opportunity to connect with others and share tips and tools with each other and you’ll receive a digital editable handout and additional tools to share with your community.
