Thank you!

Thank you to all the organisations up and down the State who held events for Mental Health Week this year. The variety of events and participation was wonderful to see.

A special vote of thanks needs to go to Open Minds for the huge effort they put in coordinating this year’s Mental Health Week across the State. They did a tremendous job and helped to make the week an outstanding success.

Wanted: Your views

Open Minds and the Commission have already started thinking about next year’s Mental Health Week, and we would like your feedback! We will be getting together with others in the sector early in the new year to plan next year’s MHW.

Tell us what worked, what didn’t, what you liked, what could be better, etc. so that we can make Mental Health Week a bigger success next year. Email your ideas to info@qmhc.qld.gov.au by 31 December 2014.
