It was a beautiful day to enjoy the sunshine, connect with nature, and create uplifting messages through drawing, scribbling, and writing words of encouragement and hope. All to help brighten someone’s day while breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and well-being.
A big thank you to Janice, Cyanne, Richard, Trudy, and Summa from WSPN, and Brooke, Em, and Rachel from Mission Australia, for your support and fantastic face painting skills at our CHALK ABOUT IT event.
Special thanks to Sumthin Tastee for their support as well. WSPN extends our gratitude to the community members who joined us in support! ... See MoreSee Less

I was diagnosed of adhd, ptsd anxiety and depression, I find it hard to retain stuffs, hard to understand, most times feel clumsy, but ever since I microdose shrooms from ( MYCOCOLE) on instagram I've been feeling productive like never before, more positive minded and immensely focused. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what it's done for me in this short time.. www.instagram.com/MYCOCOLE

Today is R U OK day and it is a good reminder to ask R U OK Any Day.
Let’s continue those important conversations and let each other know it’s ok to not be ok, we can support each other through those tough times and help each other connect to supports that may be needed.
If you or anyone needs help finding some supports, check out the Whyalla Suicide Prevention Network website where you can find information about local and national supports
