A mental health awareness blog with a difference
When it comes to supporting good mental health, it helps to enjoy some time for yourself and take positive mental strides.
Taking Mental Strides is the title of our blog series, but this is not your average mental health awareness blog.
Think of Taking Mental Strides as a letter from a good friend, chatting about every day life, the happenings of the world, and how these happenings can impact your thoughts and actions.
We’d love to hear what you think, so if you read one of our blogs and it has an impact or strikes a chord, let us know at info@mentalstrides.com.au.
