It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and one of this year's themes is “Keep Learning | Me Aka Tonu”. It's a great reminder that growth doesn’t stop when we leave school or university.

When we stay curious and embrace new opportunities, we open ourselves up to learning more about ourselves and the world around us, all while deepening our capacity for resilience under stress. It's something that's super important to us at Active+.

To mark the week, we're sharing some of our most popular mindfulness blogs to help support wellbeing and continuous growth in the workplace.

You'll learn about the benefits of mindfulness, and simple practices that can be applied throughout the day, to help keep you relaxed and open to whatever is around the corner.

It's Men's Health Week in Āotearoa, and unfortunately, too many of our tāne are living with health issues that could’ve been picked up earlier or even prevented.

Men’s Health Week is all about raising the flag and reminding each other that it’s okay to talk about this stuff. It’s important to talk about it.

Getting a check-up, being active, making small changes - it all adds up.

Let’s look after ourselves and each other, fellas. We all deserve to live well, and longer.
