Why looking out for a mate helps build a stronger community. | The Canberra Times

Society plays a powerful role in shaping our resilience. Being part of a supportive network, whether family, friends, neighbours, schools, sports clubs or workplaces, gives people a stronger foundation for coping with stress and uncertainty. Communities that encourage open conversations about mental health create safer spaces where people feel seen and supported, stigma is reduced, and people are encouraged to seek help early.
