5-13th October 2019

Congratulations to all those who made Queensland Mental Health Week 2019 such a success! A special thank you to our partners, and everyone who ran events and volunteered. Now that QMHW has come to an end, let's reflect on this year's success.

QMHW continues to grow

This year we had 318 registered QMHW events, exceeding our goal of 300. This has made it our biggest QMHW to date! We were delighted by the quality and geographical spread of events around our state this year. We're so happy to see so many people taking part. To all those who held events and everyone who attended, we hope it was a big success!

We’re keen to make QMHW bigger and better each year, and we want your help. Whether you were involved in an event or not, we'd love your feedback on what we can do to improve. Please fill out our anonymous survey (it takes just 5 minutes).
