Queensland Mental Health Week

Celebrated annually in October, Queensland Mental Health Week promotes the importance of mental health and wellbeing and aims to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.

Creating a mentally healthy workplace is not only good business sense but also a legislative requirement. A mentally healthy workplace is one that:

  • promotes practices that support positive mental health
  • identifies and assesses psychosocial hazards to eliminate and minimise risks
  • builds the knowledge, skills and capabilities of workers to be resilient and thrive
  • is  free of stigma and discrimination about mental illness
  • supports the recovery of workers after a psychological injury.

Participating in Queensland Mental Health Week is a great way to demonstrate your commitment to mental health, enhance your team's capabilities, and improve your organisation's understanding of psychological health and wellbeing.
