Mental Health Awareness Week | October 6–12

Let's celebrate our wellbeing together at Royal Oak Medical Centre!

Research shows there are five simple things you can do daily — at work and at home — to build resilience, boost your wellbeing, and lower your risk of developing mental health problems. These are known internationally as the Five Ways to Wellbeing:

The Five Ways to Wellbeing:

• Connect — Strengthen relationships and feel close to others — at work and beyond.
• Be Active — Movement improves mood, reduces stress, and supports mental health.
• Keep Learning — Stay curious and seek new experiences to stimulate your brain.
• Give — Acts of kindness — big or small — increase happiness and life satisfaction.
• Take Notice — Tune into the present moment and appreciate the world around you.

The Five Ways in Action:

• Connect with family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors.
• Keep Learning — try something new or take on a fresh challenge.
• Be Active — walk, garden, play, or simply step outside.
• Give — thank someone, help a teammate, or volunteer.
• Take Notice — savour the moment, notice the seasons, reflect on the unusual.
