GIVE THE
GIFT OF SUPPORT
Every day, people are navigating mental health challenges quietly often while working, caring for someone or simply trying to get through the week.
Many of them are doing this without the support they need, not because they don’t want help, but because they can’t afford it or don’t know where to turn.
Every contribution helps someone feel seen, heard, and supported. And when someone receives the care they need, they’re more likely to support others. That’s how we build resilient communities, one act of compassion at a time.
THEME: LIVED EXPERIENCE LEADS THE WAY
This year, our theme — “Lived Experience Leads the Way” — honours the insight, empowerment, and resilience that lived experience brings to the mental health space. It reminds us that meaningful progress begins when we listen, learn, and foster environments where people feel safe and supported.
This theme is a call to all of us as individuals, organisations, communities to shift from awareness to action. It encourages us to see lived experience as a foundation for building understanding, trust, and long-term change in the way we care for each other and respond to mental health matters. By valuing and amplifying these perspectives, we take meaningful steps toward a space where everyone feels empowered and supported.
WHY IT MATTERS?
Mental health affects us all whether through our own experiences or by supporting those we care about. What truly makes a difference is how we talk about it, who we make space to listen to, and how we choose to respond.
The National Multicultural Mental Health Month 2025 is about creating safe, respectful spaces where people feel heard, valued, and supported. It’s about learning from one another, taking meaningful action, and allowing lived experience leading the way forward because change begins when we lead with empathy.
