Its Share The Load campaign is about discovering ways to talk things through, support a mate, and find services that can help when life feels heavy.
“Life can sometimes feel heavy. Work pressures, family responsibilities, financial stress, or personal challenges can build up over time,” Deni MHAG chair Lourene Liebenberg said.
“Many people try to carry these burdens quietly, believing they should just push through.
“Sometimes people think they need to be strong and handle everything themselves.
“But sharing what’s going on, even with a trusted friend or family member, can help break a problem into smaller, more manageable steps.”
MHAG’s dedicated Share the Load web page highlights support services such as free counselling and organisations like TIACS, which provide free support for people in trades, construction, and other industries.
“Because when we share what’s weighing on us, the load becomes lighter,” Mrs Liebenberg said.
“Looking out for each other helps build a stronger community.”
