Queensland Mental Health Week (QMHW) is an annual awareness week that aims to shine a spotlight on individual and community mental health and wellbeing.

This week we are encourage to think about our mental health and wellbeing, regardless of whether we may have a lived experience of mental illness or not.

The week also gives us the opportunity to understand the importance of mental health in our everyday lives and encourages help seeking behaviours when needed.

This year’s theme is Take time — for mental health. 

Our Team at Cairns Catholic Education have come up with a handy Mental Health Calendar which has ideas/motivation for you to use for the month of October (and any other month for that matter) to help keep your mental health on track. Feel free to download it here.
