Prioritising our wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around us can help us live happier, healthier lives.  The Five Ways to Wellbeing are simple ways to improve our mental and social wellbeing and includes the 5 actions of: connect, be active, take notice, keep learning, give. Incorporating the Five Ways into your daily routine is easy, free, and can be done anywhere and in a way that suits you.

Visit 5 ways to wellbeing - Preventive Health SA for more information.

Support for domestic and family violence

1800 RESPECT is a national phone service offering 24/7 support to anyone impacted by or supporting people impacted by sexual assault, or domestic and family violence.

Support for mental illness

A work environment and culture that supports mental health, manages psychological safety and encourages wellbeing behaviours is in everyone’s best interests.

If you or your family are experiencing mental health symptoms, ask your General Practitioner (GP) for an assessment and a mental health care plan. This will entitle you to engage with a mental health clinician (psychologist or accredited social worker) for focused psychological services delivered via telehealth (videoconference or phone).

For more information and wellbeing tips, visit the Australian Government Department of Health Head to Health website.
