💚 Loneliness Awareness Week | 3–9 August 2026

Loneliness can affect anyone, even people who seem busy, connected or surrounded by others.

This year’s theme, Make Room for Connection, reminds us that meaningful connection does not always happen by accident. Sometimes, we need to intentionally create space for it.

That might look like:
☕ Inviting someone for a cuppa
📱 Sending a message to someone you haven’t spoken to lately
👋 Saying hello to a neighbour
💬 Asking, “How are you really going?” - and making time to listen
🤝 Joining a local group, activity or community event

Small moments of connection can make a meaningful difference.

And if loneliness begins to affect your mental health, you do not have to manage it alone. Wagga Wagga Medicare Mental Health Centre provides free and confidential mental health support, with no referral or appointment required.

📅 Sunday 16 August
🕙 10:00am to 12:00pm

🌿 International Day of Friendship 🌿

Friendship can take many forms.

It might be the person who makes space for you to be yourself, the friend who notices when something feels different, or the familiar face who helps you feel connected to your community.

Strong relationships can support our wellbeing, but friendship is not about having all the answers. Sometimes, simply being present, sharing time together or offering a listening ear can mean more than we realise.

Today is an opportunity to appreciate the people who help us feel seen, valued and connected, and to be that person for someone else.

At Wagga Wagga Medicare Mental Health Centre, we are here when you need some extra support. Our service is free, confidential and available without a referral or appointment.
