Our new Statewide campaign features two of our partners – Hedland Well Women's Centre and the Newman Neighbourhood Centre. The opportunity to feature in campaign materials is just one benefit of becoming an Act Belong Commit Partner. Another is having access to a wide range of promotional resources to help organisations share the mental wellbeing benefits of participating in their group. In addition, the Act Belong Commit mass media campaign often drives people to Partner listings on the Activity Finder tool [https://lnkd.in/guCvPQW9], making it easier for people to find them. Please enquire with our Partnership team by emailing actbelongcommit@curtin.edu.au or calling 9266 1705 to learn more about the benefits of being an Act Belong Commit Partner.

Keeping mentally healthy is just as important as staying physically healthy.
About us
Mentally Healthy WA’s vision is to work toward a society that values mental health and where everyone has the opportunity to be mentally healthy. Its mission is to enhance population mental health by creating supportive environments that strengthen individual and community resilience. Mentally Healthy WA (based at Curtin University) operates the well-established mental health promotion campaign Act Belong Commit®, which has continued to grow in reach and impact as it helps to change attitudes towards mental health and reducing stigma towards mental illness by encouraging people to be more open about mental health issues and inspiring people to engage in activities that strengthen their mental wellbeing. The Act Belong Commit® campaign is delivered through a structured partnership model, including Schools, Community, Associate and International partnerships. As of March 2018 we have 214 signed partners on board and aim to increase our partnerships to 300 by 2019. In 2011, a team at Waseda University in Japan adapted the campaign to help children affected by the Tsunami, and more recently The National Institute of Public Health in Denmark, The Norwegian Network of Health Promoting Hospitals and Health Services (Norwegian HPH), and the Faroe Islands Council for Public Health have worked closely with the Act Belong Commit® team to roll out the framework in their countries. In 2013, Act Belong Commit® was announced the winner of the Australian Medical Association (WA) and Healthway, Healthier WA Award. The Award recognised exceptional achievement in primary prevention within the Western Australian community. The campaign has also won a Mental Health Outcome Award (2009), Mental Health Promotion and Mental Illness Prevention category, and been named a finalist in a number of other Awards over the last few years.

Act Belong Commit co-director Christina Pollard recently represented us at the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) conference in Poland!
Over the past week, PHAI staff Christina Pollard & Melissa Stoneham attended the 9th International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) European conference in Lodz, Poland. During the conference, many new partnerships were forged & ideas sparked. Three oral papers were presented on preventing trachoma in remote communities, the importance of providing ongoing advocacy training for public health practitioners, and results from the Act Belong Commit campaign. Here are a few photos from the event and a couple of the fascinating post industrial city of Lodz. Charlotte Meilstrup Line Nielsen Cecilie Schacht Madsen
