Mental Health Week 8-15 Oct #MHW2016

We have had so many wonderful events this week and there are still even more to come.

Have a look at all events around Perth and regional WA here: http://mhw.waamh.org.au/ 

This year's theme is Mentally Healthy WA's Act-Belong-Commit way for better mental health and wellbeing, with a focus on suicide prevention, 'Together we can save lives'.

Suicide is a complex issue with multiple interrelated factors. There are, however, strong relationships between suicide, traumatic life events and mental illness. Mental health promotion programs such as Act-Belong-Commit contribute to suicide prevention by keeping people mentally healthy, building individual and community resilience and by preventing mental illness.
