October 10, 2020, marks the start of Queensland Mental Health Week to raise awareness about the importance of looking after our mental health. With one in every two Queenslanders expected to experience mental illness in their lifetime and suicide being the leading cause of death for Queenslanders aged 15-44 years, mental health is important for everyone. Busy lives can sometimes get in the way of caring for our mental health, as does a fear of feeling vulnerable should we reveal our mental health challenges.
With the changes to people’s daily life caused by COVID-19, it’s even more important than ever that we take the time to raise awareness of mental health in 2020, encourage people to take care of themselves, and celebrate wellbeing and recovery in our community.
Continuing on from last year, the theme for Queensland Mental Health Week in 2020 remains Take Time — for mental health.
Research shows there are six simple actions we can take to improve our mental health and wellbeing. These simple actions are from the Queensland Government’s Dear Mind initiative and are based on the internationally recognised Wheel of Wellbeing.
