Today is World Mental Health Day which aims to highlight global mental health education, awareness and advocacy.
The initiative by the World Federation for Mental Health encourages people to see beyond the stigma that surrounds mental health issues and make mental health more visible.
Mental Health Australia CEO Frank Quinlan says the organisation wants people to make a mental health promise online, to battle stigma.
"To date more than 20,000 people have made a mental health promise to help reduce stigma and create awareness," Mr Quinlan said.
