Every voice matters. 💚

This World Mental Health Day, we’re recognising the importance of feeling heard, supported and connected.

Mental health and wellbeing support can look different for everyone. It might mean building confidence, staying connected, developing everyday skills or having the right support to work towards your own goals.

We Walked the Walk! 💙

We’re so proud to have reached our $1,000 fundraising target. Thank you to everyone who donated, came along, walked a few laps, cheered us on or supported the team in any way.

A huge congratulations to Sally R for completing an incredible 50 laps 👏🏻

And a special thank you to Anna and Erika for all the preparation in the lead-up, and for holding the fort and keeping everything running on the day.

It was great to see so many people getting involved and supporting Lets Talk Colac and the important work they do in our community. 💚

🎬 Lights, camera, action!

Ellie recently travelled to Canberra to help film educational videos for the Spectrum Project, sharing her lived experience to help create better, more person-centred support for people with intellectual disability.

Working alongside the project team, Ellie helped shape the scripts before bringing them to life on screen—ensuring the voices and experiences of people with intellectual disability are at the heart of these important resources.

As Ellie said:
"I felt like a movie star!"

Congratulations to Ellie and the VALID Connect team for helping create resources that will make a real difference.
