‘Creating Hope Through Action’ Campaign 2022

 #HopeThroughAction22

This year’s campaign will run between World Suicide Prevention Day on 10 September and World Mental Health Day on 10 October.

The campaign focuses on one of the Take 5 Steps to Wellbeing – CONNECT

Over five weeks we will share ideas about how you can connect to improve your wellbeing across PHA and HSC social media. Local groups and organisations will also be providing opportunities to connect with people in your community.

We can all create hope through action by grabbing a coffee and connecting with friends and family during the campaign – in person or over the phone!

Here’s some other ways you can create hope through actions
