Improving Mental Health through Artistic Exploration
Young people across Victoria are struggling with their mental health more than ever.
Connecting like-minded people through their love of art, Hearts and Minds programs provide a space for people to gather by removing barriers to participation that may be financial, physical, and/or social. Participants develop confidence through mastery of artistic skills and presentation of public outcomes and they develop connections with peers and mentors.
Current programs include:
Building Volunteer Capacity & Connections
Tailored training and opportunities for volunteers
Dance, Anyone?
Two intergenerational folk dancing events.
Guardians of the Garden
Rock garden and interconnecting paths in the community bush garden at Newcomb Primary School.
Ink & Wonder
