For many people, there is still a lot of stigma and shame attached to our mental health and wellbeing. That’s why this UMHD, we are asking you to contribute to our 'Let’s Chalk About It' walkway to share your messages of support, hope, and awareness around mental health with chalk! Join the UQ Health Promotion Ambassadors in front of Student Central Plaza who will provide you with chalk and conversation to raise awareness of mental health and services to support you.
