We are excited to announce the theme for Queensland Mental Health Week 2024 is “Connect for mental health”, emphasising the proactive measures we can adopt to nurture and support positive mental health and wellbeing for ourselves and our communities.

Queensland Mental Health Week provides an opportunity for all Queenslanders to consider and connect with the people and communities that they rely on to help them be mentally healthy, through a range of events and activities.

Connect for mental health focuses on four areas:

• Connect with self: Take care of yourself, do something you enjoy, make healthy choices, and seek help when needed.
• Connect with community: Create supportive and inclusive environments, look after one another, and connect with culture. Show kindness and initiate connection with those who are struggling.
• Connect with others: Foster relationships with loved ones, friends, family, and mob. Spend time with others and make meaningful connections.
• Connect with nature: Take a break from technology, spend time outdoors, embrace mindfulness, and take care of the world around you.
