Mental Health Awareness Week 2021

10-16th May 2021

Take action, get active

The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week this year is nature. Spending quality time with nature can reduce stress, balance your mood and help you feel more positive.

Why not Walk for Youth Talk every day in May? Set up an online fundraising page and ask your loved ones to sponsor you.

Share nature

Please take a photo or video and share the connections you’ve made during the week to help inspire others. Tag @Youth_Talk_SA on social media, we’d love to follow your progress and see your pics.
