Australian Mental Health
Awareness Essay Competition
The Australian Mental Health Awareness Essay Competition is an essay competition for young people aged 13 and above to talk about mental health.
Mental health receives a lot of discrimination, social stigma and disregard from many. Although we should all know what mental health issues mean, only a small proportion truly understand the struggles, and of this small proportion, only a handful have really tried to help those in need from the deterioration of being afraid of our own minds.
The idea behind this mental health essay competition is for you to speak about your journey through combating mental health issues, your struggles along the way, and your view on mental health. The first step toward overcoming issues surrounding mental health is expressing yourself, so others can build a better understanding of what is truly happening inside of you.
Speak Up, Speak Out, Speak About
Mental Health
Mental health is an evergrowing issue around the world, yet many have not recognised the struggles of people going through this on a day to day basis.
