Stress Less in the Plaza 2024

Over 500 people attended Stress Less in the Plaza on Friday, October 11, and learnt more about how to support their mental health and wellbeing. Attendees enjoyed a dance fit session, free massages, live music, arts and crafts, and other fun activities. 14 local organisations hosted stalls and shared information about the supports people in Mpartnwe/Alice Springs can access.
