Community Engagement
let's collaborate.
We work closely with schools, Universities, TAFE, alternative education services, other organisations and stakeholders to plan and deliver impactful community awareness and education about mental health and how headspace can help.
Moving beyond stalls and wellbeing expos, we want to help you dream big and deliver an experience that truly engages participants.
Reach out to us to see how we can work together. Get in early for key dates throughout the year as we often book up months in advance.
Are you a School, University, Tafe or other vocation/education provider? Connect with us!

Please note that our Community Engagement team is not able to provide presentations or workshops on specific topics. Our role is to provide presentations or workshops on specific topics. Our role is to provide general mental health information, encourage helpseeking and educate about headspace services.

our priority communities
While our goal is to share headspace's services with everyone, we’re particularly invested in building connections and improving service access for young people in our priority communities, including:
- Disengaged young people
- Young men
- First Nations
- Culturally & Linguistically Diverse
- LGBTIQAP
Requests for community engagement will be prioritised in relation to these communities.
“"Learning about headspace and mental health through doing the art activities was way better than having someone talk at me in a school presentation."”
- Student Participant, Wesley Mission Gold Coast Youth Hubs School Holiday Program
