Above all, we are a resource group to Rotarians on issues of mental health. The purpose of the group is to advance the Object of Rotary by providing assistance and support to Rotary, Rotaract and Interact members at all levels (individual, club, district, and multi-district) in planning and implementing large scale community development projects that will improve mental health and wellness in the community.  We will work to underline the Rotary values of service, diversity, fellowship, integrity, and leadership and help all the citizens we serve in our communities to positively balance their lives and to care for those who need our help and support.  We believe that the mental health initiatives in our communities can improve lives through different social, physical, economic, and behavioral programs we develop to build strong societies internationally.  

 

• Help with launching or joining projects that support mental health initiatives.
• Connection with experienced leaders in mental health and wellness promotion.
• Proven activities to introduce or replicate at all levels (toolkits, etc.) 
• Promotion of your project to other champions (website,  newsletter, etc.)

 

 

 

We offer resources for members around the world to promote in their local communities. For example, a toolkit that has been implemented in the USA, Puerto Rico, India and Nigeria - Wellness in a Box - can be facilitated by members of Interact, Rotaract, and Rotary along with community leaders.  Check out the resources on this website and contact the Action Group leaders with ideas and questions:
