October - Mental Health Month
In Australia, Mental Health Month is celebrated in October to raise awareness about mental health. It helps people understand the importance of mental well-being and encourages them to talk openly about their feelings.
We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as traditional owners of the lands on which we walk, live and raise our children.
We pay our respects to traditional owners past, present, future and any Aboriginal people present here today. We acknowledge the importance of children being raised with connections to culture, community and family.
