One in five Australian adults experience a mental illness every year. Mental ill health is a growing problem in Australia and has been made worse since the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking after your mental health and wellbeing, and knowing how to support others, has never been more important.
To mark Mental Health Month this year, North Richmond Community Health invited community members and staff for a walk starting from NRCH and finishing at Citizens Park Richmond. It was the perfect sunny day for a walk and to encourage conversations about mental health with one another to reduce the stigma around mental illness.
