MHACA held a range of events during the week of 5-10 October to celebrate Mental Health Week. We were very fortunate to take up several opportunities to promote Mental Health Week in the local media, with three of MHACA’s participants speaking to the Centralian Advocate about their personal experiences. MHACA CEO Paul Tomaszewski was also interviewed on local ABC as part of their ‘Mental As.. Mental Health Week programming, and CAAMA radio.
Thank you to everyone in our community who joined us for the World Suicide Prevention Day 2026 Walk & Breakfast yesterday.
We appreciated your warmth and heartfelt conversations as we gathered to remember those we have lost.
Together, we can create a safer community where people feel supported to reach out when they are in crisis.
