Mental Health Week - YOUR SUCCESS

The 2013 Mental Health Week has been officially labelled a "huge success" by all involved.

It may have been hectic at times, but that's because it was full of so many wonderful events and driven by so many wonderful people with a common goal to promote our Mental Health Week message Celebrate, Connect, Grow. Thank you each and every one of you who made a contribution to what was a wonderful and memorable week of activity.

The energy, excitement and vitality we have seen over eight days was really something to behold. Now each and every one of us has that challenge to continue with the positive messages and education processes so that Mental Health Week isn't just a 'blip' on the annual radar, but a catalyst for permanent change of behaviour and attitude throughout our community. Forming partnerships with workplaces; connection to the corporate world; and the essential element of engaging our schools are all vital components to a positive mental health message and formation of positive attitudes. It is just the beginning (or continuation) of a long journey and this past week has shown us all, that as well as being hard wor, it can also be a lot of fun.

Thanks for all your hard work and all of us at WAAMH look forward to working with you to maintain the wonderful momentum we have created in the past week.
