🧰 Have you seen our new mental health toolkit resources yet?

We’ve been listening to schools right across the state, and one thing came through loud and clear:

Schools need to know not only where to go for mental health support, but also what to do next.

That’s why we’ve been developing practical resources to help schools navigate mental health support and take the next steps.

We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Do you work at a school?
Would these mental health toolkits be useful in your school?
What resources would make a difference to your school community?
If you are at a community organisation or service would you also like some?
💬 Let us know in the comments!

It’s that time again!!! We cannot wait to see you there!!

Looking forward to a safe place to connect? Meet you friends and also enjoy some yummy food and a cool activity?

See you there Saturday!

We can’t believe that we’re hosting our sixth gathering already!

This month we’re getting our hands dirty with ‘Find Your Green Thumb’ - an afternoon of planting, growing, and getting creative with our very own little pots.

Come along and plant something to take home, decorate your pot, and learn a few simple ways to help your new little plant thrive. Whether you’ve got a green thumb already or struggle to keep a cactus alive, there’s something for everyone! 🪴

Not keen on getting grubby? No worries! We’ll also have plenty of nature-themed alternatives for those who’d rather keep their hands clean, with creative activities and crafts to choose from 🌿🎨

Whether you’re coming on your own, with your family, or with a friend, everyone is welcome!

🗓️ Sat 17th October
📍 54 Wilmot Street (Burnie City Church)
⏰ 1:30pm–3:30pm

Come along, get creative, get a little bit grubby (or don’t!), eat some yummy food, and spend an afternoon connecting with others 💚
