Pause, reflect, reconnect with headspace Berri – celebrating National headspace day 2024

Country SA PHN Newsletter November 2024

On Tuesday 29 October, headspace Berri concluded Mental Health Month by marking National headspace Day, an annual event aimed at raising awareness and advocating for the mental health and wellbeing of young Australians.

The 2024 theme, “Pause. Reflect. Reconnect,” called on young people to take a step back, explore simple yet powerful strategies for maintaining mental health, and find balance in their daily lives.

To celebrate the occasion, the headspace Berri team transformed the Berri riverfront into a relaxed and welcoming space. The event featured a variety of activities designed to promote relaxation and connection, including mindful arts and crafts, lawn games, and sensory experiences.

A key highlight of the event was the involvement of the headspace Berri Youth Reference Group, who played a pivotal role in shaping the event’s focus. Together, the group planned a series of outdoor activities and nature play that reflected the “Pause. Reflect. Reconnect.” message, encouraging participants to engage with nature and take a moment for their mental health.
