Everyone’s pathway to wellbeing is different ✨

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to building positive mental health! Some people find their balance through quiet reflection and solitude, while others thrive through social connection and community.

The “right” way to support your mental health? It’s the way that works best for YOU!

Your personal wellbeing pathway might look completely different from someone else’s – and that’s exactly how it should be.

🔎 This week, pay attention to when you feel most centred and at peace. Is it during solo walks? Creative projects? Conversations with friends? Share one activity that boosts YOUR wellbeing in the comments.

As you head to the polls tomorrow, we encourage you to vote for a candidate who will prioritise people over projects, and take a stand on mental health and wellbeing for all Tasmanians.

According to the World Health Organisation: “Everyone, whoever and wherever they are, has a deserving and inherent right to the highest attainable standard of mental health.”

This doesn’t just mean support should be available when someone is in crisis. It means our government must place greater emphasis on prevention and early intervention - and do everything within its power to help people avoid reaching crisis point in the first place.
