A Community Movement
- What began as an idea to bring mental health into the community grew into a collaborative initiative involving organisations, healthcare professionals, NGOs, industry partners, students, sponsors, and volunteers.
- With more than 50 student volunteers from psychology, counselling, medicine, nursing, and allied health backgrounds, the event also provides an opportunity for students to translate their classroom learning into meaningful community engagement.
- At its heart, the event demonstrates that community wellbeing is a shared responsibility — and that meaningful change happens when people and organisations come together with a common purpose.
