October is Mental Health Awareness Month
October is Mental Health Awareness Month and a reminder to all of us to take steps to look after our mental health.
Mental ill health, just like physical ill health, can effect anyone at any time. It does not discriminate. Daily life stressors or big life events such as becoming a parent, moving countries, ending a relationship, losing a loved one or experiencing a natural disaster - such as our current prolonged drought - any of these circumstances could overwhelm any one of us.
