Mental wellbeing in spotlight
A FAMILY-friendly inclusive event at Gordonvale on Sunday is raising awareness about mental health and reducing stigma.
Mulgrave Landcare and Catchment Group is hosting the 'Be Kind To Your Mind' morning at the Mulgrave Landcare Station, 105 Norman St, Gordonvale from 9am-12pm.
“The event we are hosting is a free family-friendly, inclusive event to explore mental health awareness and reduce stigma,” said the group’s coordinator Lisa O’Mara.
“We are collaborating with many community members on the southside of Cairns and surrou-ndings to provide a space for people to connect, discuss and come together to discover services, activities and ways to support mental health,” she said.
“We would love to see you there and keep the conversations going about mental health and how connecting with your local community can make all the difference.”
Among the actvities are a 'wait-a-while and weave' activity, the installation of a nature mandala on the grounds by ‘flower gypsy’ Holli Scius, a flash mob with Mulgrave Dance Academy and introduction to yoga with Sarah Hession.
