Since opening its doors in 2014, the organisation has provided vital mental health support to over 4,900 individuals, with a particular focus on young people.
To celebrate this achievement, headspace Redcliffe is hosting a “Cheers to 10 Years” event on August 8, from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The free celebration will take place at their recently renovated facility located at 457 Oxley Ave, Redcliffe. The event is open to all ages and abilities, welcoming the entire community to join in the festivities.
Attendees can look forward to an array of activities and treats, including:
- Free pizza, soft drinks, fairy floss, and donuts
- Interactive activities in every room, run by clinicians and Youth Reference Group members
- Live music performances
- Informative stalls
The event will also provide an opportunity for visitors to explore the organisation’s newly renovated space, showcasing the improved facilities available to support young people in the community.
As part of Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, headspace Redcliffe offers early intervention mental health services to individuals aged 12-25. The centre boasts an on-site GP and works closely with local schools to identify and assist young people in need.
Headspace’s impact extends beyond its physical locations. The organisation provides online and phone counselling services, vocational support, and maintains a presence in schools across Australia.
They offer an online support community where young people can participate in weekly chats on various topics, led by trained youth, adults, and headspace clinicians. This digital platform serves as a safe, moderated space for connecting with peers, sharing resources, and seeking advice.
While RSVPs are strongly encouraged through Eventbrite, the organisers assure that there will be ample room for all who wish to attend, even if online tickets are no longer available.
