R U OK? Day and Mental Health Month

Photo_Comp_1st_Place.JPG

R U OK? Day – 14th September

Got a feeling that someone you know or care about it isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts?  More agitated or withdrawn?  Or they’re just not themselves. Trust that gut instinct and act on it.  Learn more about the signs and when it's time to ask R U OK?

By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes you’ve noticed, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up.  If they say they are not OK, you can follow the conversation steps as referenced in the link below, to show them they’re supported and help them find strategies to better manage the load.  If they are OK, that person will know you’re someone who cares enough to ask.  (ref: www.ruok.org.au)

For more information on learning how to notice signs or know when it’s the right time to ask R U OK?  Please visit the R U OK? website at Signs it's time to ask R U OK?

World Mental Health Day is 10th October, with Mental Health Week WA taking place from 7th - 14th October.

Health Direct advise about 1 in 7 children and adolescents aged 4 to 17 have recently experienced a mental health disorder in Australia. The most common disorder is ADHD, followed by anxiety, depression and conduct disorder.



There are plenty of things that can be done to improve mental health and help prevent mental health issues from developing. For example, getting enough sleep, eating well and doing regular physical activity, is important for children, just as it is for adults.



Long-lasting and safe and secure relationships, such as with the child’s family (including extended family and carers), are considered the most influential factors in a child’s life. Mental health difficulties in children might present as frequent or intense struggles with their emotions, their thoughts, behaviours, learning or relationships.



As a parent or concerned adult, there are some simple steps you can take to support a child’s mental health. These are things like taking an active interest in the child, encouraging them to talk about what’s happening in their life and being aware of changes in their behaviour. Seek support from your doctor or other health or mental health professional if you are concerned.



Some great resources for further information on Mental Health and supporting those going through a challenging time:
