We were recently informed that 60% of school students are suffering from severe anxiety around exams and the pressures of performance.
With October being Mental Health Month, we held a Mental Health Event at Cranebrook High School open to community, more specifically Cranebrook school students who may be suffering from mental health issues.
The event was a safe space, encouraging community to have those difficult conversations in an uplifting and supportive environment with referrals and ongoing support provided to many families.
One of the best bits of the night was a free yoga class focusing on centred breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques, useful practises that students could take with them and use in moments of anxiety during these demanding school periods.
The event was held in partnership with Uniting Ability, Headspace, Like Mind, Breakthru and many other agencies. We would like to thank Cranebrook High School and all the partners for their support allowing us to be able to run this event for the local community.
We wish the best of luck to all the students that are completing their HSC in the next few weeks.

Harrison, a local Cranebrook Resident created artwork for the flyer for this mental health event. So impressive!
