Mental Health Incursion

'The Champions' discussed mental health, as Nic told his own personal, and family story, of lived experiences of mental health challenges. Nic spoke openly about his experience with mental illness, and offered advice to our students to consider how we talk, act and think about mental health, prompting students to realise how openly talking about mental health can have a positive impact in their own lives and in the lives of their mates around them. Students asked meaningful questions, and Dani shared Headspace Bondi Junction’s ‘open door policy’, encouraging students to consider whether Headspace could offer support for them – now or in the future. There are many services Headspace can offer (students, parents or schools can make referrals for young people).
