Throwing it back to last week's headspace Day celebrations! 🎉

We kicked off the festivities with 'headspace Goes to the Movies' at Metro Cinemas Burnie, where we enjoyed a magical screening of Disney's Haunted Mansion, complete with popcorn and soft drinks. 🍿🎥 The fun continued on Thursday with the Youth Mental Health Awareness Walk in Wynyard, where we strolled along the scenic foreshore, encouraging conversations and connections among all.

It was a fantastic opportunity for Headspace Burnie and Devonport staff, along with our amazing youth reference group, to engage with the community and share valuable insights on mental well-being. Here's to nurturing our headspace together!

A special thank you to Melissa and the team at Metro Cinemas for supporting our cinema event, to Steph and the team at Waratah Wynyard Council for allowing us to be part of this years Spring Loaded catelogue and of course, a big thank you to all community members and service providers that came along to the events.
