Positive mental health and wellbeing is essential for both individuals, and society to maximise their potential. Unfortunately,mental illness is common, with research suggesting, one in five Australians will experience a mental illness at some point. Mental illness does not discriminate, as it affects people of all ages, socio-economic status, educational backgrounds, as well as cultures.
