Hello everyone,
We hope everyone has had a great week.
WA Mental Health Week
October 4 - October 10
Next week is important in raising awareness about the importance of mental health. Looking after our mental well-being helps us cope with stress, build strong connections, and live happier, healthier lives. This year's theme is Empowering Communities, Thriving Workforces It highlights the power to take charge of your mental health, find purpose through meaningful work, and support others in your community. It's about lived experience, recovery, and life beyond mental health challenges, emphasising the link between mental health and strong communities.
Join us Friday, 10 October for a special Connect 60+ workshop with Ulrika Klinteberg who is a lived experience speaker from Beyond Blue. She will be talking about having open conversations around mental health, the importance of listening, and looking after your wellbeing.
We will also be holding a free sausage sizzle/BBQ at 11am at the Hub - it's open to everyone, so bring your friends and family along. If you would like to volunteer for the BBQ, please email Vicki at village@connectvictoriapark.org
