Your contributions at this event helped raise awareness of the importance of mental health and wellbeing and contributed to an increased understanding of mental illness and recovery.
We are very grateful to have been a recipient of the 2024 Queensland Mental Health Week (QMHW) Community Events Grant Program.
This grant enabled us to host a variety of engaging activities and provide a free sausage sizzle, and free burgers and drinks.
Thank you also to our amazing Emerald Neighbourhood Centre Volunteers including Brian, Lyn, Nisha, Shane and his son, Keith, Kyren, and Pam and our wonderful ENC Staff who always go above and beyond.
Yarn bombing and Kindness rocks were done as an activity. Some Kindness rocks were left around the park for people to find. There were also affirmation cards tied in trees for people to find and take.
We look forward to continuing to connect and support our community at future events!
