Mental Health Month is celebrated each year in the month of October. This month encourages all of us to think about our mental health and wellbeing. It also gives us the opportunity to understand the importance of good mental health in our everyday lives and encourages help seeking behaviours when needed.

The concept of ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’ introduces you to five simple and effective ways to improve your psychological and emotional health.

You can take a short quiz to check your current state of overall wellbeing here: https://www.5waystowellbeing.org.au/tools-resources/5-ways-to-wellbeing-quiz/

Each week during October, we’re going to focus on one of the Ways to Wellbeing: Connect, Be Active, Keep Leaning, Be Aware and Help Others.

Follow our socials for some recommendations and programs we offer at Gateway Health to support the 5 ways to wellbeing each week during October.
