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.

2025 theme:
This year’s theme, Empowering Communities, Thriving Workforces is all about power.
- Having the power to take charge of your own mental health journey and recovery.
- Having the power to support yourself and find purpose through meaningful employment.
- And having the power to support others within their community, to stay mentally healthy.
Throughout Mental Health Week we’ll be shining a light on real stories of lived experience, recovery and life beyond mental ill-health, diagnoses and labels.
We’ll also collaborate with mental health professionals and community leaders to bring you resources, workshops and events.
We’d love for you to get involved this year. Together, let's strengthen our understanding of the interconnectedness between mental health, employment opportunities and the power of communities.
