Welcome to Mental Health Awareness Month with Healthy Mind Menu!
Join us in October 2023 as we partner with hospitality venues, workers, and customers across Western Australia to promote mental health and well-being in the industry and the community.
We unite to celebrate the many reasons we love WA Hospitality. Hospitality offers workplace fun, camaraderie, life skills, and a strong connection to the local community, enhancing worker well-being and retention.
During Mental Health Awareness Month, we aim to shine a light on the brilliant people who create and maintain our favourite local places to meet, unwind, and be entertained. We invite you to join us in celebrating what makes the industry great while supporting the mental health of hospitality workers.
How can you get involved? It’s easy!

Partner with Healthy Mind Menu during Mental Health Month 2023
Throughout Mental Health Month, venues across WA will unite to drive donations towards Healthy Mind Menu Inc.
As a venue partner, you can make a difference by pledging a portion of sales from a specific product during mental health month. For example, you can donate $1 from every pint of Pale Ale or $5 from every chicken parmigiana sold. We encourage you to have fun and get creative with the naming, marketing, and delivery of your Mental Health Month offering. In the past, venues have even created exclusive signature cocktails, tacos, and lunch specials.
By partnering with us, you’ll receive a mental health awareness package, including venue posters, brochures, and staff resources. We’ll also design co-branded material to promote your deal to customers on both your channels and ours.
Fundraise and Receive a Complimentary Well-being Workshop for Your Team
We are pleased to offer an exclusive incentive for venues that raise more than $3,000 during Mental Health Awareness Month. As a token of our appreciation, venues that reach this fundraising milestone will receive a complimentary Mental Health Wellbeing Workshop.
The Mental Health Wellbeing Workshop will be conducted at your venue and tailored to meet the needs of your team. Our experienced facilitators will deliver an interactive session focused on promoting mental health, building resilience, and fostering a supportive work environment. This workshop provides valuable insights, practical strategies, and actionable tools that can be implemented within your team to enhance overall wellbeing.
The Impact of Your Support
Funds raised will go towards developing Australia’s first-ever Mental Health Toolkit for the Hospitality industry. It’s going to be a game-changer—a best-practice guide that tackles mental health and well-being issues head-on in the workforce. Our venue partners totally rocked it last year by creating awareness and raising funds, which got us started on this important research project with Edith Cowan University (ECU) Centre for Work and Wellbeing.
This research project has three phases, and we’re super pleased to announce that Phase 1 is right around the corner. In October 2023, we’ll be releasing an industry report that dives deep into the mental health and well-being of hospitality workers in Western Australia. It’s gonna be eye-opening!
But here’s where you come in. We need your support to kick off Phase 2. We want to develop a program that’s based on solid evidence and can provide ongoing support to both employers and employees in the hospitality industry.
A healthy hospitality industry means a healthy community. The ripple effect is massive!
