For annual Queensland Mental Health Week (QMHW), a local organisation will bring together art and mindfulness in workshops across the region.
Stella Life Care will run ‘The Art of Wellbeing’ workshops in both Bowen and Collinsville to connect people and communities whilst “reflecting on the important factors that help people maintain positive mental health and wellbeing.”
The free painting workshops aim to teach the art of expression through painting, all with a mental health backing.
Participants can create their own masterpiece to take home while a credentialed mental health nurse discusses this year’s QMHW themes: awareness, belonging, and connection.
The free workshops are open to both adults and children and will be led by Counsellor Su Willmott.
Linked to National Mental Health Week and World Mental Health Day, held on 10 October every year, the workshops are in sync with QMHW’s yearly, week-long campaign.
The week of October 8 to 16 event hopes to have everyone think about their mental health and wellbeing, regardless of whether they have a lived experience of mental illness or not, and encourages help seeking behaviours, when needed.
Stella Life Care has been fortunate to receive support from the Queensland Mental Health Week Community Events Grant Program to partially fund the workshops.
Places are limited with bookings essential at the link below.
