Our second festival was held at the Perth Concert Hall was a huge success and was attended by over 400 people.

The theme of our 2022 festival was 'Breaking the Stigma' and our aim was to bring people together from all backgrounds into a safe environment where mental health was accepted and openly discussed.

This year we offered workshops such as Achieving Wellness, Fencing for Trauma, Benefits of Gardening, Yoga and breathwork which were designed to help people regulate their emotions and improve their overall wellbeing.

We also provided talks and films which were designed and presented from people with lived experience in the aim of trying to reduce stigma surrounding mental health.

We also offered additional activities such as pebble painting, live music and a silent disco to boost people’s mental health. This was extremely well-received.

A series of videos were created to highlight that mental health impacts us in different ways and to encourage more open conversation about mental health. These can be found here.

To deliver this festival, we partnered with the following organisations:
