Mental Health Week

Mental Health Week 2022 took place from the 10th - 14th of October. The theme for this year was “Awareness. Belonging. Connection”. On Wednesday the 12th, alongside a wide range of other local services, Health Promotion Officers Bronte and Andrea participated in the ABC in the Park “Better Together Community Day”. 

This was a great opportunity for community members to reconnect and acknowledge how important mental health and wellbeing is to our community, whilst getting to know the friendly faces of people delivering support in our community!

We would like to say a massive thank you to all of the other committee members who put in so much time and effort to ensure the day was a success. It also couldn’t have happened without an abundance of support from the community attending, local businesses donating and local services coming along. We would like to especially thank to Produce & Pantry for donating a box of fresh fruit for everyone to enjoy! It was a fantastic day that reminded us all of the importance of looking after our mental health.
