The World Federation for Mental Health was founded in London in the aftermath of WWII. Since this time, it has been engaged in efforts to support mental health. As a result of work by the World Federation for Mental Health, 10 October has become known as World Mental Health Day. Mental Health Australia’s World Mental Health Day theme is community connection.
Defence and DVA have recently released a Mental Health and Wellbeing Action Plan, which is available here. The first page of this document lists several mental health support services that can be contacted for mental health support. Information about Mental Health Australia is available here.
