FREE BBQ + good vibes = headspace Day Darwin 💚

We’re celebrating headspace Day at Jingili Water Gardens and keeping things nice and chill.

Come down for a free BBQ, music, lawn games, community stalls, a clothes swap and a chance to just hang out with some good humans.

📅 Wednesday 14 October
🕓 4pm - 6pm
📍 Jingili Water Gardens
🎟️ Free to come along

Grab a feed, have a yarn, bring a mate or the family, and enjoy the arvo with us.

Sometimes doing a little less is exactly what we need - and that’s pretty much the vibe for headspace Day this year.

Over the past few days, We had the privilege of attending and holding a stall for **World Su***de Prevention Day & R U OK? Day**.

You don’t need the perfect words. Sometimes simply saying **“I’m here, you matter, and you don’t have to do this alone”** can make all the difference.

Please check on your people. Check on the strong ones. Check on the quiet ones. And check on yourself, too. ❤️‍🩹
