Linking Across the Country in Support of World Mental Health Day
It was estimated in 2021 by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), that over two in five Australians aged 16–85 had experienced a mental disorder during their lifetime.
Mental illness effects millions of people each and every day, negatively impacting their overall wellbeing. Established by the World Health Organisation (WHO), World Mental Health Day was put in place to raise awareness for mental health issues around the world.
Delivering hope and demonstrating compassion is at the heart of what RRT stands for. Since the beginning, RRT volunteers from across Australia have linked hands to acknowledge the importance of mental healthby supporting many events throughout the years.
In the past few weeks alone, RRT have supported over 10 events that focus on mental wellbeing and de-stigmatising mental health, including:
