Today, 10 October 2025, is World Mental Health Day.
It’s a day to start conversations, reduce stigma, reach out for support — and connect with our communities.

This year’s theme, Connect with your community, highlights the importance of belonging to places where we feel safe, seen, and heard.

Connection today and every day, is a simple way to care for your own mental health, and the wellbeing of those around you.

Throughout October, Mental Health Australia is sharing tips and reminders in our free 2025 World Mental Health Day calendars to help you check in and connect with your community.
