Campaign messages

The Be Kind to Your Mind campaign is based around key themes that influence positive mental health, such as:

• balancing demands e.g. between work, home and play (life balance)
• connecting with others and doing things we enjoy (connectedness)
• identifying personal resources and support mechanisms (social support and help seeking).

Some of these themes relate to us individually, while others can be considered suggestions for groups of people (couples, families, work groups, community groups - church, sporting, volunteers and even whole towns).

The overall message of Be Kind to Your Mind is that positive mental health does not just happen; as with physical health there is a need to manage and look after your mental health and wellbeing. This is reinforced by six take-away messages including:

• talk about it
• take a break
• kick back
• make contact
• work it out
• stress less.
