Connect for mental health focuses on four areas:
๐ Connect with self: Take care of yourself, do something you enjoy, make healthy choices, and seek help when needed.
๐ Connect with community: Create supportive and inclusive environments, look after one another, and connect with culture. Show kindness and initiate connection with those who are struggling.
๐ Connect with others: Foster relationships with loved ones, friends, family, and mob. Spend time with others and make meaningful connections.
๐ Connect with nature: Take a break from technology, spend time outdoors, embrace mindfulness, and take care of the world around you.
