Awareness is nothing without action

Name: Campaign Against Living Miserably
Price range: $

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week so you’re going to be hearing lots of chat about #awareness. But we know awareness is nothing without action.

At CALM we’re about action. We’re about doing. We’re about small, practical things that can help you, your mates… and everyone. So, however you say it, say it. However you do it, do it.

We’re not here to preach about drinking 8 cups of water a day or doing gong baths or yoga (though if that's your thing, that's great). We’re here to help you find the things that get you through, to help you find the reason to keep on moving forward, no matter what you’re facing.

The theme of Mental Health Awareness Week this year is loneliness. Loneliness is a normal emotion. It’s fine to be on your own but we know that feeling of loneliness can become so overwhelming that it makes it difficult to get on with your everyday life. That's why we're here to help you through. To help you do stuff that works for you.

So yeah, ACTION. This week. Next week. All the time.

How To: Make Mates

Making new mates as an adult can be intimidating. It’s no longer as simple as sharing a bag of Wotsits at lunchtime or giving someone a friendship bracelet to let them know you’re bffs, but that doesn’t mean you can’t kindle new friendships. Here’s our guide on how to make mates.
