This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and this year's theme is about how belonging matters.

When people feel they belong, they're more resilient, more connected and better able to cope when things get tough.

Mental Health Awareness Week is about positive mental health and the small, everyday actions that make a real difference. A conversation. A check-in. Ten minutes outside. Asking a colleague how they're really doing, and waiting for the answer.

PSNZ members have access to our Wellness Hub, where you'll find resources for individual and workplace wellness - tailored specifically by and for the NZ pharmacy workforce.

If you or someone you know needs support, free call or text 1737 any time to talk with a trained counsellor.
