This week we celebrated @headspace_aus day - a national day of support for the mental health and wellbeing of all young Australians. 🙌
ℹ️Did you know that Moonee Valley doesn’t have a headspace centre? Getting our own headspace centre is one of Council’s top priorities in our Advocacy Strategy.
SWIPE 👈 to read the mural our Valley Youth team helped create in the lead-up to the last federal election. It outlines some of the issues that are important to young people in Moonee Valley. We presented a copy of the mural to our Federal MP and other federal representatives to get their support.
We're not giving up. We'll keep advocating to expand youth mental health support services to look after current and future generations of young people in Moonee Valley. 💚
For #headspacetips and inspiration visit @headspace_aus website or social pages.
