Today our team popped down to Trinity College Colac to mark World Mental Health Day, which is tomorrow, 10 October.

Mental health challenges can affect anyone, kids, teens and adults alike. Small, open conversations (at school, at home, with mates) can make a big difference, and reaching out early is always a sign of strength.

Thank you to the Trinity College students and staff for hosting Sarah and Jayne today 🙌

Lucky 13 🍀

We've got 13 spaces left in our November Mental Health First Aid course, funded through Let's Talk Colac and open to the whole community.

MHFA teaches you how to spot the signs that someone's not okay, start the conversation, and point them toward the right support. It's a practical skill, and it's one you'll use at work, at home, at the footy, or in your friends circle.

📅 Wednesdays 4, 11, 18 & 25 November
🕕 6.00pm to 9.30pm
📍 Salvation Army Colac Meeting Room, 57 Dennis Street, Colac
👤 18+

You'll need to attend all four evenings and complete an online component to receive your accreditation.

Book via the link in our bio or here: https://www.trybooking.com/au/event/1542300

Tag someone who'd be great at this. Bring a mate if you like, we've got room for a few.

To everyone who turned out for Walk The Walk on Saturday: THANK YOU 🙌

We'd love to say the weather was on our side...

It was not 😆

It was wet, it was muddy, and somewhere around hour six we all stopped pretending our shoes were ever going to be dry again.

And you came anyway. You laced up, you pulled on the ponchos, and you kept putting one foot in front of the other (sometimes sliding sideways, but we count that too).

Honestly, it felt a bit like mental health. Some stretches are sunny and easy. Some are boggy and slow, and every step takes a bit more effort than it should.

To our walkers, volunteers, supporters, sponsors and everyone who cheered from under an umbrella: you turned a very soggy day at the Colac Showgrounds into something really special. We are so grateful.

More photos to come!
