Love Me Love Your Mate

This Mental Health Week we’re highlighting the importance of mateship. The fundamental thing that mateship gives us is support via a network of people who care about us. In times of need this support network is essential in helping us get through.

1 in 5 people in Australia suffer from mental illness and sadly suicide remains the leading cause of death for Australians aged between 15 and 44. We all have bad periods in our lives. It’s important to understand that during these tough times relying on key people in our lives is essential to helping us through. In the moment, it can hard to think of who to turn to.

As part of #mentalhealthweek and #lovemeloveyourmate we’re encouraging you to think about who your network of support is and give them a shout out.
