Improving mental health

We are committed to improving the mental health and wellbeing of Western Australians.

Having social connections, good personal relationships and being part of a community are vital to maintaining mental health.

The right foundations for mental wellbeing must be built wherever people live, learn, work and play.

Preventing mental ill-health and improving mental health can be complex, requiring community-wide strategies as well as strategies targeted to groups known to be at increased risk.

We are working with others to

  • Increase knowledge of strategies for staying mentally healthy
  • Shape environments conducive to good mental health
  • Create opportunities for social inclusion and connectedness
  • Improve public understanding of the catalysts of good mental health
  • Reduce social harms (bullying, discrimination)
  • Improve knowledge of how to seek help when needed.
