Georges River Council is proud to support NSW Mental Health Month 2025 with a diverse program of events designed to promote mindfulness, connection and self-care.
Held throughout October, Mental Health Month encourages individuals of all ages and backgrounds to take proactive steps toward improving their mental wellbeing. From yoga and creative workshops to community art projects and curated reading lists, Council's programs offer something for everyone.
Georges River Council Mayor Elise Borg said, "Mental Health Month is a time to reflect on the importance of wellbeing in our daily lives.
"The programs we're offering this October are designed to inspire, connect, and support our community. Whether it's through creative expression, movement, or simply taking a mindful moment, these activities remind us that mental health matters every day.
"I encourage everyone to explore what's on and take part in building a more compassionate and resilient Georges River."
Program highlights include:
-
