WE BELIEVE IN A COMMUNITY APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH!

This is a Mental Health collective organised by Hand in Hand Ballarat who believe in a community approach to mental health.  Hand in Hand Ballarat is a grassroots, volunteer-led initiative dedicated to raising funds for the roll out of the proactive, peer led, mental health program - Open Parachute in our local schools.  Currently funding the program in 5 local primary schools and 2 local secondary schools.  We are not just about raising awareness, we want to stop the stigma around mental health and make real, lasting meaningful change in our community and we invite you to be part of it.
