FAQs

As an Act Belong Commit partner, the City is committed to encouraging and promoting good mental health and wellbeing throughout the community. Launching the Acts of Kindness in Armadale project is just one of the ways we are spreading the Act Belong Commit campaign message about different ways to build connections in our community and create environments that support mental health. 

As well as making people feel good, kindness has been proven to be good for your physical and mental health, as well as the greater community! In fact, it can ease your stress levels, help you to live longer, improve your relationships AND build positive and engaged communities.

There are so many!

• Celebrating and promoting kindness creates a positive environment, and makes you, your staff, and your clients feel good.
• Be associated with Act Belong Commit, a comprehensive, population wide, community-based, evidence based, preventative mental health promotion campaign created by Mentally Healthy WA.
• Good PR for your organisation, demonstrating your organisation is interested in promoting good mental health in the community.
• Kindness costs nothing and neither does being involved in this great initiative.

Businesses who register their interest, will receive:

• 100* x Acts of Kindness in Armadale cards to hand out during Mental Health Week and throughout October 2023
• Social media tiles promoting your organisation's involvement in the project.
• Project information flyer to assist with any questions you may receive from your staff or clients.
• Bunting for businesses to display (optional)

Businesses who register their interest are expected to:

• Distribute the Acts of Kindness in Armadale cards throughout October 2023.
• Promote the project launch via your business socials, using the hashtag #communitykindness, and tagging @actbelongcommit and @cityofarmadale 
• Complete a short evaluation survey post-project. This will help us assess whether this project was useful, effective, and whether we make this program an annual celebration. This is also an opportunity to provide any feedback on things that did or didn’t work so we can make improvements to future projects.

If you're unable to attend one of the drop in sessions, we can post the pack to you. To arrange, please get in touch with the City's Community Health and Wellbeing Officer at health@armadale.wa.gov.au or on 08 9394 5495
