Out Doors Inc.

Out Doors Inc. Out Doors has been empowering Victorians through nature-based mental health programs since 1987.

We guide participants towards wellness through outdoor group experiences that foster social connection, nurture skill development & promote mental wellbeing. Out Doors assists people to tackle some of the barriers which hamper their ability to live independently or participate in the community. Common experiences for people with a mental health issue include:

• discrimination on the grounds of i

llness
• gaps in work and education
• lack of stable accommodation
• the unwanted effects of medication
• low motivation and self-esteem

At Out Doors, we challenge stereotypes about the ability of people with a mental illness to achieve in activities that are ‘adventurous’ and ‘risky’. Out Doors adventures have helped participants to better connect with other group members, family, friends as well as the broader community.

There is nothing quite like a sneaky beach getaway! ☀️🌊

Our group headed down to the Bellarine Peninsula for our Bellarine Beach Break overnight trip. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and exploration. We spent our time soaking up the fresh sea air, dipping our toes in the water, and checking out the local native parklands. 🌿🌾

We wrapped up the trip with an absolute show-stopper of a red sunset, which officially coined our new team catchphrase: "Red sky at night, ODI delight!" 🌅

It was a beautiful reminder of how lucky we are to have such incredible coastal spots right on our doorstep. 💙

On a hot summer’s day, there is truly nothing better than a dip in a refreshing river! 🌊☀️

Our group headed out to the beautiful rainforests and rivers of Warburton for our Rainforest & Rivers program. We spent our days walking beneath the towering mountain ash and redwood canopy, soaking up the deep shade and cool breeze that only these giant forests can provide. 🌲✨

The highlight? An afternoon splashing around in the Yarra River, sharing the water with some very happy local ducks! 🦆💦 It was the perfect short getaway right in the heart of Greater Melbourne.

Big thanks to our coordinator, Pei Ting, for leading such a wonderful trip!
