Mental Health Week is an annual national awareness event held in October every year. The aim is to raise awareness of the importance of mental health and wellbeing in the wider community, to increase community awareness and education about mental health issues and to encourage participation in life enhancing lifestyles.
In Queensland, Mental Health Week is coordinated by a state planning committee, comprising representatives from Queensland Health, the Mental Health Association (Qld), Queensland Alliance, Disability Services Queensland, and consumer, carer and non-government organisation representation.
Local and regional events are organised by local groups and communities throughout Queensland. These events:
