Mentally Healthy WA: Act Belong Commit
Promotion of mentally health behaviours and lifestyle
Mentally Healthy WA is based in Curtin University's School of Population health and our mission is to enhance population mental health in Western Australia.
We manage the long-running Act Belong Commit mental health campaign - the only mental health campaign that educates people on the behaviours and lifestyles that lay the foundations for good mental health. Through our Act Belong Commit partnership program we partner with local governments, health services, peak bodies, schools and community organisations to extend the reach of the Act Belong Commit message and drive change in the community that makes it easier for people to live the Act Belong Commit principles.
