💙 TAKING CONTROL IN THE FACE OF CHANGE 💙
This WA Mental Health Week, the WAMIA team is taking control by taking a little time to look after ourselves, connect with each other and start conversations about mental health.
Today our team painted a tree blue at the Muchea Livestock Centre as part of the Blue Tree Project.
This year’s WA Mental Health Week theme is “Taking Control in the Face of Change". A reminder that while there are many things in life we cannot control, there are things we can control: the habits we build, the support we seek, the boundaries we set, and the way we look out for ourselves and others.
For our team, painting this tree is a small but visible way of taking control.
💙 Taking control of making time for wellbeing.
💙 Taking control of checking in with one another.
💙 Taking control of having conversations that might otherwise be difficult.
💙 Taking control of asking for help when we need it — and offering support when someone else might need it.
And we hope the blue tree will do the same for everyone who sees it at the Muchea Livestock Centre.
The Blue Tree is intended to be a conversation starter and a visual reminder to check in with yourself and the people around you. So the next time you pass it, perhaps take a moment to ask yourself:
“How am I really going?”
And perhaps check in with someone else, too.
Mental health is something that affects all of us, and building a mentally healthy community is something we can all play a part in.
This week, let’s take back control of the things we can control — and look out for each other along the way. 💙
