Every year the World Health Organisation marks World Mental Health Day. So on this week's News Time, we're bringing you five stories that dive deep into mental health, and how we can take care of ourselves and our friends.
We’ll join some schoolkids in the garden, then travel to a town cutting down on screen time. After that, we’ll go the distance with someone who loves to spread kindness, in our Wow of the Week.
If this episode brings up any feelings for you, please make sure you speak to a grown-up you trust. You can also call the Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800.
