headspace Port Macquarie invited community to join in the fun on October 10th at Roto House, as they celebrated National headspace day - an annual awareness day that highlights the importance of youth mental health.

The theme for this year's headspace day was Pause. Reflect. Reconnect and they wanted all young people to understand that by pausing and reflecting, they can find the space and energy to reconnect with what is important to them. 

With special guest Leslie Williams MP, everyone enjoyed the opening of the Expression for Mental Health : Youth Art Exhibition, followed by free afternoon tea from Home at Roto House, cool art and craft activities, a creative nature mural project designed by local artist Brad Collins, followed by our signature ‘green’ cake to sweeten the occasion.

There were free giveaways, fun games and more!
