G’day reader,
World mental health day 2016 is on October 10th, and Mental health week here in Oz runs from 9-15th October. So, a bit more info and conversation about mental health from governments and mental health services than usual. However this is a conversation that we must continue to have throughout the year, not just during mental health week. Take it easy.

A reminder for me not to take life too seriously too often! Take care out there.

Hello reader,
Great to see attention being drawn to mental health (and in this case cancer) through the efforts of an Aussie Don Watson. Don walked/trekked from Fremantle in Western Australia to Sydney, a distance of over 5,000 kilometres! He raised around $28,000 for mental health and cancer programs. Well done Don, and thanks!
More band interviews coming real soon. Take it easy out there.
