AS WORLD Mental Health Day is marked globally today, Australians for Mental Health is calling on governments to prioritise social connections, with this year’s theme focusing on mental health responses in humanitarian emergencies.

“We know more regular and intense weather events are on the cards for Australians,” said Australians for Mental Health Chief Executive Officer Chris Gambian.

“We unfortunately come face-to-face with natural disasters too often, but connected, resilient communities look out for one another, which can help them recover more quickly after a crisis.”

The advocacy group is also urging the Federal Government to make wellbeing central to all policy decisions, ensuring mental health is supported across every portfolio.
