This year’s theme for National Mental Health Month is "Tune In”. This means making the most of all of the opportunities we get to connect with our senses and our communities. It also means tuning in to yourself - taking time for self-reflection and personal development.
During October, the Y NSW is encouraging all young people to “Tune In” with the Y.
Y Spaces will be hosting events across regional/metro locations together with digital activities and challenges on Facebook and Instagram so that everyone can join in the fun.
Tune In with the Y every week for new challenges and activities*
