Mental Health Week 2011

On Wednesday 12th October, NMC will be participating at 'Springtime in the Park' in celebration of Mental Health Week.

This event is hosted by the Australian Red Cross and 139 Club. The venue is New Farm Park Rotunda, New Farm, 11am to 3pm.

Our program is:
  • Ikebana, Japanese Flower Arrangements Demonstration by Chieko Klerkx from 11.15am to 12pm.

Mental Health Week is an annual national awareness event held every year to coincide with World Mental Health Day, which is held on 10 October each year.

Mental Health Week aims to raise awareness of the importance of mental health and wellbeing in the wider community.

Local and regional Mental Health Week events organised by local groups and communities contribute to reducing the stigma associated with mental ill health and offer a platform to engage the community in dialogue regarding help-seeking behaviours and mental health promotion.
