National Mental Health Month

Sunday, 1 October, marks the start of National Mental Health Month 2023.

This year’s South Australian theme is Have the Conversation, encouraging South Aussies to talk about their mental health and to check in with loved ones.

As part of the National Mental Health Month calendar, Burnside Library will be hosting an Author Talk session with Dr Cate Howell on Thursday, 19 October.

An experienced GP, therapist, researcher and educator, Dr Howell will discuss her new book, The Flourishing Woman.

A unique guide to women’s health and well-being for both the mental and physical – this text speaks to life challenges and how to overcome them, as well as living a satisfying and meaningful life.

Touching on subjects relevant to so many women, this text will help approach hard to discuss topics like anxiety, overcoming stress, dealing with expectations, reproduction, menopause, managing parenthood challenges, relationship issues and more.
