MHACA held a range of events during the week of 5-10 October to celebrate Mental Health Week. We were very fortunate to take up several opportunities to promote Mental Health Week in the local media, with three of MHACA’s participants speaking to the Centralian Advocate about their personal experiences. MHACA CEO Paul Tomaszewski was also interviewed on local ABC as part of their ‘Mental As.. Mental Health Week programming, and CAAMA radio.
Our 'No Shame in Getting Help' animation reminds us that everyone has times when they feel sad or overwhelmed. If those feelings don't go away, reaching out for support is a sign of strength, there is no shame in getting help.
