More About Connect 5

Objectives of Connect 5 derive from national policy on mental health and behavioural research.
Using the framework of the Five Ways to Wellbeing and principles of cognitive behavioural theory, it aims to empower people to have
conversations about mental wellbeing. These conversations are intended to contribute towards promoting mental wellbeing, preventing
mental health deterioration and when necessary, identifying and taking appropriate action to address mental distress.
