Join us for two and a half days of powerful conversations, community connection, and innovative thinking as we come together to explore how rural communities can lead the way in mental health advocacy and education.

This year’s theme Breaking Barriers: Tackling Stigma and Promoting Mental Health Awareness in Rural Communities, focuses on addressing the stigma that continues to surround mental health in rural and remote settings. Together, we’ll explore strategies to promote understanding, inspire action and build inclusive communities where everyone feels supported and heard.

Our Streams this year;

  • Stigma Reduction Campaigns
    Collaborative approaches to challenging stigma and encouraging open dialogue in rural communities.
  • Mental Health Education
    Partnering with schools, workplaces, and local organisations to enhance mental health literacy and reduce stigma.
  • Advocacy Through Lived Experience
    Harnessing personal stories to inspire understanding and break down barriers.
  • Cultural Sensitivity in Awareness
    Tailoring anti-stigma efforts to diverse cultural groups, including First Nations communities.
  • Youth and Mental Health Awareness
    Engaging young people as advocates and changemakers for mental health awareness in their communities.
