These initiatives will continue to deliver on our commitment to improve integration across mental health services and other service systems, address gaps and unmet need, and prioritise investment in prevention and early intervention.

The mental health and wellbeing of our community is integral to ensuring the ACT is a healthy, happy and successful place to live, work and play. I would encourage anyone who is interested to participate in Mental Health Month activities such as the Mental Health Trail or organise a Wellbeing Priority Tea in their workplace. There is also a new event for 2022 especially for workers in the community-managed mental health sector—Networking for Change, an event presented by Mental Health Community Coalition in partnership with Canberra Innovation Network.

These Mental Health Month events are an additional way for us all to stay connected with each other and to promote and protect the mental health and wellbeing of our community together.
