This Sunday, 10 October, marks World Mental Health Day and is a good time to make a mental health promise to focus on one small thing that helps to support your wellbeing. This might be through connecting with friends and family, or spending time on a new hobby. Our recently launched weekly wellness break on Wednesday mornings is another great place to start.
We also know that staying active is also an excellent way to improve our wellbeing and you may like to simply go for a walk, or join a free online fitness or wellness session run by ACU Sport.
This year's World Mental Health Day theme, ‘Look up, look out and look forward’, will be further explored during the month of October in the Human Resources Updates group in Workplace, with help from some of our ACU experts. Keep an eye out for the first post in the #WMHD2021 series, featuring Chris Cheers from our Melbourne Campus, providing insights on lockdown fatigue.
