October is Mental Health Awareness Month, drawing our attention to an issue that touches us all in different ways. It also reminds us that we can all do something to support ourselves and others. This year Mental Health Awareness Day is on October 10 and the 2023 themes are ‘Awareness, Belonging, Connection’, reflecting the important factors that can help us all maintain positive mental health and wellbeing. It is about connecting with others and creating space for conversations around mental health and wellbeing.
