About WA Mental Health Week

Mental Health Week brings awareness to mental health and wellbeing nationally and scheduled around World Mental Health Day in October.


Mental Health Week is a national celebration encouraging social connection. This is an opportunity to highlight the important connection between social determinants of health and our mental health and to promote effective prevention strategies to keep people and our communities mentally healthy. This important week aims to increase mental wellbeing in WA communities by:


  • Encouraging each of us to support and look out for one another.

  • Promoting mental health literacy – learning the ‘language’ of expressing feelings, good and bad; and

  • Continuing to raise awareness of mental health issues and reduce the stigma that can be associated with seeking help.

2024 WA Mental Health Week Theme

The 2024 theme is Empowering communities, thriving workforces: a journey towards investing in our mental health. For WA Mental Health Week 2024, we're focusing on power.


We're exploring the supports in our communities that help people who’ve experienced mental ill-health to empower themselves to take charge of their mental health within their everyday lives.


How? By shining a light on real stories of lived experience, recovery and life beyond mental ill-health, diagnoses and labels.


We’ll celebrate stories of people with lived experience, help communities empower themselves, and show that mental health is about thriving, not just surviving! We’ll also pay particular attention to the role of employment as mental health promotion and its role in recovery.


Join us to challenge stigma, support individuals to chart their recovery, and tailor our efforts and support for lasting impact in our communities.
