Regional Creatives Wellbeing Program

Regional Arts Australia is teaming up with Hey Mate to offer regional creatives a program

of mental health, wellness support, and education throughout May and June.

From short and sharp bite-sized sessions that promote and encourage individual health

and wellbeing to Mental Health First Aid Training, the program has something for

everyone.

The program kicks off with a series of free- 20 minute quick sessions to give you a taste

for the program exploring Mental Health vs Mental Illness and How to beat Isolation for

creatives living and working remotely.

Next are two individual workshops Creative Industry Workplace Wellbeing and Building

Resilience. These low-cost, pay what you can workshops will provide strategies and

resources on how we can support ourselves and our colleagues and provide participants

skills to respond more adaptively to external pressures.

To round off the series we are providing sixty subsidised places in Mental Health First Aid

Training, training industry professionals and community how to identify, understand and

help someone who may be experiencing mental health difficulties.

Registrations are via the hey mate Website www.theheymateproject.com/

The Creative Wellbeing Program is an initiative of Regional Arts Australia delivered in

partnership with the Hey Mate project. It is made possible through the Regional Arts

Fund, an Australian Government program that supports sustainable cultural development

in regional and remote communities in Australia.
