Last week, we marked #WorldMentalHealthDay by supporting students heading into exams at #UNSW, & chatting with young people & their communities on the #CentralCoast & #Newcastle💙

Every chat reminds us: we all have mental health & none of us are alone in looking after it 🐘

It’s great to see the Government investing $72.7M to strengthen #headspace centres across Australia 🙌

The work we do every day helps bridge that gap, building mental health literacy & connecting young people with services like headspace when they need them most 💙 bit.ly/4h35Lcl @albomp.bsky.social

Not only did we hit our goal for stigma free streamers we overshot it and with only 4 streams into the month we have the entire month left to go! I have added some more stretch goals. There is 0 pressure to keep donating but ill keep giving to you guys as you keep giving to batyr

Sometimes the best way to check in with your mates is by switching off & hanging out IRL 💙

Whether it’s kicking the footy or getting creative together, there’s heaps of things you can do to disconnect & hang out away from the screens.

How do you like to connect with friends offline? #mentalhealth
