Uplifting. Bright. Empowering.

Thanks to everyone who made Queensland Mental Health Week 2017 a dazzling success.

Your effort and dedication to valuing mental health means Queensland Mental Health Week (QMHW) is one the biggest in the country, with a record-breaking 237 events across the State, and more than 5000 friends spreading the word via our QMHW facebook community.

Congratulations, Queensland!
