This week is National Mental Health Week and this year’s theme is “appreciate the little things” with Tasmanians encouraged to tap into their individual strengths, to understand, value, and take charge of their own mental health and well-being.
A number of activities are being held to mark the week, including some on the North-West Coast.
Art exhibitions are being held at Kentish House at Sheffield, with the theme of Seven Magic Minutes and at Regional Arts Network Tasmania in Devonport with the Minds Do Matter exhibition.
A health and well-being expo will be held at the Gnomon Pavillian at Ulverstone on Friday, with the Wellways Annual Dog Walk and Lunch at Anzac Park at Somerset on Saturday.
A community rhythm event will be held in Devonport at Haines Waterfront Park on Saturday, with the annual wellness event at the Ulverstone Surf Club on Sunday.
Minister for Health, Mental Health and Well-being, Guy Barnett says the importance of understanding what we need for our well-being, caring for ourselves and importantly working to ensure we all feel safe, supported, and connected in our communities, should not be underestimated.
There’s more details of events on the Mental Health Council of Tasmania website.
