CheckUP is proud to coordinate Queensland Mental Health Week (QMHW) on behalf of the Queensland Mental Health Commission, with the support of strong cross-sector collaboration.
QMHW is an annual awareness week that aims to shine a spotlight on individual and community mental health and wellbeing. CheckUP has coordinated QMHW since 2018 and administered the associated Community Events Grant Program since 2021.
Queensland Mental Health Week 2024 will be held from Saturday 5 October to Sunday 13 October, inclusive of World Mental Health Day on Thursday 10 October.
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. Connect for mental health focuses on four areas:
This QMHW we want to encourage everyone to come together for mental health, foster connections and enhance inclusivity for those living with mental health challenges, their families, carers, and support people.
We encourage Queenslanders to get involved in the week in a way that is meaningful to them. You can take time to learn what activities boost your mental wellbeing, look out for those you care about, and connect with your community by participating in one of the hundreds of events happening across the state.
Queensland Mental Health Week is a time when people are prompted to find out more about mental health and seek help for problems they may be facing, so remember, a conversation can play a powerful role in connecting someone to the care they need.
