World Mental Health Day on October 10 comes at a time when lives all over the world have changed considerably as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a business, we’ve felt the economic pinch at She Lion. As the people behind it, we’ve felt it emotionally. The majority of our small but mighty team is based in Melbourne, Australia. Which you may not be aware has been under one of the tightest lockdowns in the world. We’ve been pretty separated from friends and family since March.
Our numbers are dropping daily and we’re seeing a light at the end of this very long tunnel, but many of us have been through the wringer. We’re a bit frazzled, but we’re keeping focused and as positive as we can.
The following list of useful and empowering groups and resources has been curated to offer important lifelines, connections and community. Do you have any other groups or resources to add? Send us a message at enquiries (at) shelion (dot) com or ping us on Instagram.

A large purpose of mental health awareness week is to engage communities in activities that promote mental health and wellbeing.

Being a rural woman can be isolating and sometimes, the people in your local area aren’t your people – we get that and we understand that diversity and commonality aren’t mutually exclusive and sometimes you need both. The Rural Woman believes the antidote to isolation is connection. Join the community here.
The technology we build today determines the world we live in tomorrow.

With amazing courses, events and community it’s easy to get into the world of tech, refresh your skills or volunteer with like-minded women, so we can start coding for a better tomorrow.
