And the good news is there are things we can all do to promote our mental wellbeing and create a stronger more resilient community. The Mentally Healthy WA team at Curtin University run the Act-Belong-Commit campaign. They tell us:

Being active, having a sense of belonging and having a purpose in life all contribute to happiness and good mental health.
