HOW WILL YOU CONNECT TO IMPROVE YOUR WELLBEING?

"One in five Australians have a diagnosable mental illness in any one year. Deni is no different. We believe increasing awareness about mental health and promoting physical and mental wellbeing can reduce the impact of mental illness on our community”.

Deni MHAG is using this "Five in Five" theme to challenge all our community to get involved. Our goal is to challenge the community to come up with their own Five in Five challenges - not only with regards to physical activity, but all of the National “5 ways to Wellbeing" initiative.

Human beings are ‘social animals’. Our relationships with others contribute to feeling good, so it’s important to socially connect with others where we can. Developing healthy social relationships can increase our feelings of happiness, security, belonging and self-worth. Creating bonds with family and friends allows us to feel secure.
