Queensland Mental Health Week following on from World Suicide Prevention Day provides communities to continue the conversation around mental health and suicide. “Creating Hope through Action” the theme for World Suicide Prevention Day links with the theme of “Awareness, Belonging and Connection” for Mental Health Week: These are basic fundamentals for well-being- reaching out for help, looking out for each other and creating and continuing relationships with others. When we combine the six building blocks “Get healthy, Keep learning, Show kindness, Connect more, Take notice and Embrace nature to “awareness connection and belonging” we can help to create HOPE, Having Other Possibilities Explored.
Our actions no matter how big or small can provide hope to those who may be struggling.
