Today is World Mental Health Day.

Each year for World Mental Health Day on October 10 mental health is placed in the spotlight to raise awareness, break down stigma, and say, ‘Look after your mental health, Australia’.

Mental health is an issue that touches each and every one of us in different ways. It’s an integral part of our lives, and World Mental Health Day reminds us that we can all do something about our own mental health.
