World Mental Health Day 2026 💙

Every story matters. Every voice deserves to be heard.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re recognising the power of lived experience in shaping stronger, more compassionate communities.

By listening without judgement, creating space for honest conversations and valuing the experiences of others, we can help break down stigma and inspire meaningful change.

Because real voices can create real change. 💙

If you or someone you know needs support, Lifeline is here 24/7 on 13 11 14.

Pop in and say Hi, grab some activity pages for the kids and you might even score a cheeky discount!

Movie date this weekend, school holiday outing, or just because 🎬🍿

Every ticket helps support our community. 💙

Starting TODAY is our annual REACH FOR HELP Week.
Visit your local cinema from 24-30th Sept and $1 from every ticket sold will go towards su***de prevention programs.

Surviving a su***de attempt can leave you feeling like no one else understands what you're going through. You don't have to sit with that alone.

ECLIPSE is a free, 8-week peer support group for su***de attempt survivors, run by highly trained facilitators using an internationally accredited programme. No referral needed - just reach out.

Port Macquarie | 15 Oct – 3 Dec | Thursdays, 9.30–11.30am

To register or ask a question, call (02) 6581 2800 or email [email protected] or [email protected]

They sold out - so we're doing another print run with local legends .co

This year's Out of the Shadows shirt design came from a photo taken by one of our own participants: our community standing together at the wall, watching the sun rise, reflecting on those we've lost. We turned it into a design in-house, right here at Lifeline Mid Coast.

$39 - the same cost as a call to our crisis line. Every shirt you buy helps fund one of those calls.

Available for a limited time only - grab yours today.

We'll be designing a new one each year, so consider this the start of your collection - A moment worth keeping.

Order yours: https://www.zeffy.com/en-AU/ticketing/out-of-the-shadows-commemorative-t-shirt (link in bio)

We will reach out when your order is ready!
Collect from: 5 Sherwood Rd, Port Macquarie

Connection. Understanding. Hope.
And if you need to talk, we're here 24/7. Call or text 13 11 14, or chat at lifeline.org.au.

Ever wondered what it's really like to volunteer as a Crisis Supporter?
Spoiler: there's no script to memorise, and you don't need to have all the answers. So many of the calls we get are from people who are simply lonely and want to be heard and that someone could be you.
We've added more Info Sessions to make it easier to find out what the role's really about. Come along, meet the team, ask your questions - no pressure, no commitment.

Saturday 19 September, 9:00am – 12:00pm
Monday 21 September, 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Wednesday 23 September, 10:00am – 1:00pm
