WA Mental
Health Week
4 - 11 October 2025
Since 1967, WA Mental Health Week has been bringing Western Australian communities together to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of mental health and wellbeing.
Mental Health Week is a national celebration in October each year, which centres around World Mental Health Day on 10 October.
You can get involved by wearing a green awareness ribbon, hosting an event or activity, or simply spreading the word using our handy resources.
Let's get ready to celebrate WA Mental Health Week, and let's work together to improve mental wellbeing in our communities.

Empowering Communities, Thriving Workforces
This year, the theme for WA Mental Health Week is Empowering Communities, Thriving Workforces, which is all about power.
- Having the power to take charge of your own mental health journey and recovery.
- Having the power to find purpose and connection through meaningful employment.
- And having the power to support others within your community to stay mentally healthy.
Throughout Mental Health Week we’ll be shining a light on real stories of lived experience, mental health recovery and life beyond mental ill-health, diagnoses and labels.
This year, let's strengthen our understanding of the connection between mental health, employment and the power of communities.
