The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenging time for managing our mental health.
Lockdowns, social distancing requirements, travel restrictions, and the constantly changing position we find ourselves in is stressful. This makes prioritising our mental health and wellbeing more important than ever.
Good mental health is when we can cope with the stressors of our daily lives, participate in loving relationships, contribute to our community, and work towards our goals. Everyone has mental health. And we can all benefit from looking after our own mental health and the mental health of our communities.
This World Mental Health Day, Labrador Park Medical asks you to “Look after your Mental Health & Take care”
We also offer Mental Health Management Plans. Call and make bookings with our GPs (07) 5537 3300

Mental health is something that deserves more attention in everyday life, not just on awareness days. Taking care of our wellbeing can make a big difference to how we handle work, family, and other pressures. Many people are now choosing to book doctor appointments early rather than waiting for things to get worse, which is a positive step. Open conversations and better access to support can help reduce the stigma around mental health. Appreciate the insights shared here and the reminder that looking after our mental health is just as important as looking after our physical health.
It’s great to see more awareness being raised around World Mental Health Day 2021. Mental wellbeing is something we all need to look after, especially with the challenges of the past few years. I’ve noticed how much of an impact simple lifestyle changes can make, from staying active to keeping connected with mates. Even things like using hearing aids when needed can play a huge role in reducing isolation and supporting mental health. The more we keep these conversations going, the stronger our communities will be.
