Stride Mental Health

Thank you headspace Swan Hill for your support ❤️

Dr Winnie looks like he was enjoying his time outside too! 🐶

Day 3 of our Stride Outside Mental Health Challenge consisted of 30 minutes in the sun with sweet Dr Winnie 🧑‍⚕️🦮

We challenge you to 30 days of September to spend at least 30 minutes outside everyday doing whatever activity of your choosing (e.g., reading a book, riding your bike, playing with your dog)

Being outside promotes wellness and this challenge aims to incite healthy habits for ourselves! 😊🤝🧠
Join us this September!

This year, we held a NAIDOC T-Shirt design competition, and the winner of the competition was a young Stride participant. Their incredible artwork reflects this year's NAIDOC theme: "Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud".

"My NAIDOC T-shirt design shows a fire in the middle, representing the flag. The designs around the fire show day at the top and night at the bottom. The top right is Torres Strait artwork, and the other sections represent different Koori and Murri mobs and their connections. The centre-right section symbolises the sea."

Our staff are proud to wear these shirts throughout NAIDOC Week.
