Mental Health Month, celebrated in October each year, is all about making time to focus on self-care and wellbeing. It’s a reminder to reflect on your mental health and wellbeing, whether you’re living with a mental illness or not. Beyond that, it is also an opportunity to acknowledge the importance of maintaining good mental health every day, as well as recognising when you might need to seek support.

You may recognise that you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health problem. This can include changes in a person's thinking, emotional state or behaviour, which can in turn affect their daily life. These changes may disrupt the person's ability to work or carry out their usual personal relationships – just like a physical illness would.
People are often too afraid to access services simply because they feel that they will be judged in a negative way by the people around them, or be treated according to the stigma that surrounds mental illness. This is unfortunate as effective treatments are available for mental illness, and you should always be treated with respect. Treatment and support provided in the early stages of illness can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
