""My mental health promise is to always take time to ask R U OK? And be relentless in our efforts to address mental illness and prevent suicide and self harm."
Prime Minister - Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP
"My mental health promise is to support inclusiveness and respect, offer help to those who need it, and remove the stigma associated with mental illness."
Leader of the Opposition - Hon Bill Shorten MP
Mental Health Australia CEO Frank Quinlan says the idea of making a promise reminds people that looking after their mental health is personal, and it starts with them.
"The idea of making and sharing a promise also helps break down the stigma that still exists with mental illness. In the spirit of sharing, my mental health promise for World Mental Health Day is to keep finding quiet places amid the chaos."
