Theme for Mental Health Awareness Week 2012

September 20, 2012 1:16 pm ⋅

Take Notice during Mental Health Awareness Week

The Mental Health Foundation of NZ are pleased to announce that the New Zealand theme for this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week (8 – 14 October) is take time, take a breath, take notice.

Free resources are now available to order from the MHF’s  online shop, and this year’s brightly-coloured postcards (which come in packs of eight different colours) have a fun twist. They have a hole cut in them that you can look through to get a fresh perspective on the world around you, without any distractions.

The take notice posters, which come in a set of two colours (blue and brown), encourage you to open all your senses and experience the world around you.

Do you Tweet? This year, you can also tweet via the MHF website the things you stop to notice each day. You can start tweeting now so by the time October arrives you’ll be an expert at taking notice. Who knows, your observations might just go viral!

All the best with planning your activities for Mental Health Awareness Week – you can now submit your listings on the Mental Health Foundation’s What’s On calendar. And don’t forget to take a breath, take time, and take notice!
