WA Mental
Health Week

4 - 11 October 2025

Mental Health Week brings awareness to mental health and wellbeing nationally, and scheduled around World Mental Health Day in October.

Mental Health Week is a national celebration encouraging social connection. This is an opportunity to highlight the important connection between social determinants of health and our mental health and to promote effective prevention strategies to keep people and our communities mentally healthy. This important week aims to increase mental wellbeing in WA communities by:

  • Encouraging each of us to support and look out for one another.
  • Promoting mental health literacy – learning the ‘language’ of expressing feelings, good and bad; and
  • Continuing to raise awareness of mental health issues and reduce the stigma that can be associated with seeking help.

Help us break the stigma by wearing an awareness ribbon or using a green 'check in' pen. Buy a ribbon or pen
