“How’s your head today?” is a new national COVID-19 mental health campaign that urges people to prioritise their mental health, raise awareness about how to identify when something is wrong, and encourage people to seek help.

‘How’s your head today?’ is part of the Australian Government’s $48.1 million support of the mental health campaign, Mental Health and Wellbeing Pandemic Response Plan, to help Australians whose mental health is impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This mental health campaign highlights ways to help Australians cope with challenges such as staying connected, building a daily routine and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It will help Australians recognise when they are not coping and where to find information and support.
