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.

We celebrated NAIDOC Week at MHACA’s Drop-in Centre last Friday with a fun and meaningful day of activities. We cooked damper, had some yarns, played music, painted boomerangs, made bracelets, got our faces painted, and enjoyed a delicious kangaroo stew. It was a great day full of connection, culture, and community spirit!
