Downloadable Resources
Each year Wayahead creates a range of Resources as part of the Mental Health Month Campaign. This includes both downloadable and printed resources.
About our Downloadable Resources
Connection is one of the most important protective factors for our mental health and wellbeing. This year’s Mental Health Month theme, A Little Connection Goes a Long Way, highlights how small, meaningful moments of connection can make a positive difference in our everyday lives.
As part of the campaign, we are committed to ensuring our resources are accessible to communities across NSW. To support this, we develop a range of downloadable resources designed to help spread awareness and encourage engagement with this year’s campaign.
The resources include interactive calendars, colouring sheets, hero posters, translated tri-fold brochures, and more. We encourage you to explore and download this year’s resources to help your community reflect on the 2026 theme, “A Little Connection Goes a Long Way”, and to promote the importance of mental health — not only during October, but throughout the entire year.
