Free EXPO event for social and emotional wellbeing. Reducing stigma & promoting mental health literacy.
Music, arts, performances, local competitions, education and learning opportunities, storytelling, and more! Now in its 12th year, 2022 welcomes back the Brisbane Mental Health Expo taking place at Brisbane PowerHouse, New Farm on Friday 14th October 2022. We are returning to the idyllic and spacious outdoor Brisbane Powerhouse location, coming to you live with Stalls, Information, Entertainment,
Food, Coffee, Competitions, Spot prizes, Fun, nature and lots more. The Mental Health Expo is an engaging and innovative way to promote mental health programs, services and organisations and share information and resources with the community. The Expo promotes social and emotional wellbeing, encouraging people to maximise their health potential, enhancing the coping capacity of communities, families, individuals and increasing mental health recovery. The Expo intends to reduce the stigma experienced by people with a lived experience, and increase mental health literacy amongst the wider population. The Expo is committed to:
• Increase awareness of existing resources, programs and services that are available to support mental health recovery and build capacity within the region;
• Strengthen the network across services within the area to build greater knowledge of resources available, access pathways and develop relationships promoting partnerships to benefit for consumers, carers and the community;
• Promoting co-ordination of care and efficient use of local resources;
•De-stigmatised accessing mental health services, and promote engagement in clinical services and professional supports.
