Greetings to you all who are involved in mental health wellness! Have you ever experienced stagnation and felt that a breath of fresh air is long overdue? Well, hold onto your horses because we are going to explore the exciting concept of community access and how it can entirely revamp your mental health!

Now visualize this. You are outdoors, in the company of friendly people, and doing things you love. Joyful  isn’t it? That is the benefit of community mental health resources in Western Australia! It’s hot tub time for your brain, only more interesting and easier on the pocket.

Let me take a guess at what you are thinking. ‘But, I am not really the social type!’ I hear you; I understand. Sometimes, the mere thought of putting yourself out there can feel worse than watching a horror movie marathon. But here’s the thing; social activities for well-being do not require you to be the center of attention. It is all about identifying your group, your people, your supporters in mental health!

Now allow us to discuss the magical ingredient of mental health outings. These are not your ordinary field trips, people. These are carefully organized activities meant to uplift your spirits and give a high five to your mental health. Whether it’s a calming stroll or an exciting excursion, everything is available. Think of it as a soul menu – try a few different dishes and see which one attracts you the most!

Ah, but we’re not done yet! (I’ve always wanted to say that.) Inclusive community events are very important, yet very often go unnoticed, by mental health practitioners. These social lettings-cum-cultural manifestations are just like a warm hug for the mind, without the exclusions. Nothing to worry about – free of anxiety! Only positive feelings and wonderful people. Whom do you want to relax where each one can be as weird as they are without reservations?

Now, It’s time to add more flavor to the story by introducing group therapy sessions. No, don’t run away! That’s not what I mean. These are not the boring sessions where every participant even keeling over says “And how does that make you feel?” I mean envision yourself actively engaged in a session, where you meet other people striving to overcome the same challenges as you. This is like a support group on the phone without all the annoying chit.chat aged up feeling.

And on those occasions when you need an auxiliary shot of great, turn to recreational therapy for mental health. It is like a recess for your brain – play, explore, and most importantly re-engage in the sheer simplicity of doing things for the sake of doing them. Be it art, music, sports or even dance therapy (no one is judging!), the bottom line recreational therapy is all about what makes your inner self happy.

And let’s not overlook the mental wellness outings as well. These are the ones that come as a supercharged for your mental health activities in a positive way. Think of a vacation, therapy and a day out with friends rolled into one scenario. That’s the description of the mental wellness outings! They aim to refresh you, instill happiness in you and most importantly, they provide a reminder that life is good.

Well, are you up for the challenge of community access? It is time to step out of your house and stop wasting yourself in front of a screen, waiting for mental health resources to reach you. Such resources are near in the entire Western Australia with plenty of activities designed to enhance one’s well being and establish new friendships, making it impossible to not walk with a certain bounce in one’s step.

Always keep in mind that every individual’s journey with mental health is custom and cannot be replicated. There is no perfect way to address it and that is what makes it imperative! Hence, go ahead, join the community access pool or at least dip your toes in it. Who can tell? You may even find yourself jumping in with both feet and enjoying every moment of it. Your less discontented self in the future will appreciate you!
