TORQUAY-BASED mental health and wellbeing charity Art of the Minds has launched its #5CStarFish campaign across the region to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing during National Mental Health Month.<\/p>\n

As part of the annual Art of the Minds Festival, the #5CStarFish campaign encourages community members to get creative and to join the conversation around mental health.<\/p>\n

Art of the Minds President Jules Haddock asked everyone in the community to participate by colouring in their version of our local Biscuit Starfish.<\/p>\n

“Through the simple act of colouring-in our much-loved Biscuit Starfish, everyone can engage in a mindful activity that will lighten our minds, brighten up our neighbourhoods and show our support for mental health.<\/p>\n

“Over the last six months, our committee has worked tirelessly to prepare a festival program that will help us all celebrate National Mental Health Month on the Surf Coast. Our festival brings together a plethora of lived experiences, perspectives, professionals and community groups to tackle the stigma around mental health,” Mrs Haddock adds.<\/p>\n

As a strengths-based campaign and festival, community members are given opportunities to learn about mental wellbeing, build resilience, become stronger advocates, and become more connected with other people and the community generally.<\/p>\n

“Despite this year’s mental health and wellbeing festival going virtual, we hope that this campaign will inspire our renewed efforts to ensure that festival attendees have a positive, creative and meaningful experience throughout October,” Mrs Haddocks says.<\/p>\n
