This October, Mandurah is celebrating Mental Health Week (4-11 October) with a bunch of fun and helpful activities for everyone. This year’s theme is “Empowering Communities, Thriving Workforces,” and it’s all about power. The power to take charge of your own mental health and recovery, the power to find purpose and connection through meaningful work, and the power to support others in our community to stay mentally healthy. Let’s grow our understanding of how mental health, employment and community all work together.
