Mental Health Awareness Month (October) and World Mental Health Day (10 October) are global strategies to raise awareness about the importance of good mental health and wellbeing.  It's a timely reminder about the need to protect our mental health and wellbeing, and look out for those around us who many need support. 

Being active and making small changes in your daily routines are some of the ways to enhance your wellbeing.  At TAFE SA, we are encouraging our students to get involved in one of our wellbeing activities during October. 

Little Changes Challenge

TAFE SA's annual Little Changes Challenge is a 7-day wellbeing challenge which aims to inspire little changes in your life to improve your wellbeing.  You can find out about the challenges being undertaken by our 2022 Little Changes Challenge ambassadors on our website and challenge yourself to get involved. Learn more at Little Changes Challenge.
