Whether we have lived with a mental illness or not, Mental Health Month is an opportunity to understand the importance of mental health in our everyday life, and encourages reaching out for help when needed. This year’s Mental Health Month theme is Share the Journey, which means connecting with family and friends, supporting each other and decreasing the isolation people feel when times are tough. Until the end of October, the Library will have a collection of resources on display promoting general wellbeing and positive mental health for students. Books and literature about how best to support mental health, as well as games and colouring sheets, will be available in the Library for all students.

Additionally, more information on mental health support can be found at http://mentalhealthmonth.wayahead.org.au/, and Youth Beyond Blue has some great information and resources at https://www.youthbeyondblue.com/.
