Australian Rotary Health celebrates Hat Day on World Mental
Health Day, October 10! By supporting Hat Day you are helping to Lift the Lid on Mental Illness
by breaking down the stigma and contributing to vital mental health research. We know that 1 in 5 Australians experience a mental illness every year, but
with COVID-19, these figures may have increased. Therefore, it is more
important than ever that we continue to fund mental health research, especially
for our youth.
Here is one event Rotarians and friends and families can get involved in...
Conceived by our own Sue Foley, D9800 District Chair of Community Service

uplift the soul. This concert is FREE but you are encouraged to donate to Australian
