I thought it was quite innovative. Its simplicity made me think is it really worth doing? But eventually the more I return to look at it, yes. It is worth doing.” “What I found is it really did make me think about what's important to me and what I like and what makes me happy, and I never asked myself those questions before” “It prompted me to think about different aspects of my wellbeing, and increase my awareness of things in my life that I already do to maintain my wellbeing.” Take a minute awards and nominations: •Community Achievements Awards 2024: Healthy Tasmania Health and Wellbeing Award – Semi Finalist •The Mental Health Services Awards of Australia and New Zealand 2024: Short Term Initiatives & Projects Category – Highly Commended •Tasmanian LiFE Awards 2025: Innovative Practice and Research Contribution to Suicide Prevention- Nominee Take a minute is an initiative of the Mental Health Council of Tasmania, created in partnership with Be Well Co., with support from the Tasmanian Government.
