Activate Mental Health

Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of....... Neither is talking about it.

Hi I'm Andy "Crocman", I have struggled myself with mental health and alcohol abuse issues.

I remember that when I was struggling, I did not know where to turn for support.

So with this in mind, I have set up The Wellness Wagon - a safe community space connecting men giving them chance to gather for a walk, coffee & chat about whatever is on their mind.

Providing encouragement, support & help with further information on other support services and groups.

Listen…. Talk… Assist. It’s that easy .

You invited to come and join me @ 8 am, grab a coffee at the Beachside Barrista (own expense), go for a walk along the coast path returning to mirror park around 9 am where we can chill and have a chat.

Look forward to catching up with you.

Activate Mental Health is on the lookout for new event hosts.

Think of volunteering with Activate Mental Health as having “friends on demand” for the hobbies you’d love to do.

We have the following roles open.

In-person event host

Online event host 

Queer social club event co-host

Silent book club event co-host

This “event” is just an ad for the roles we have. There is no event on 31st May.

Feeling like some chocolate and casual games?
Perhaps just want to come down and have a coffee and a few rounds of cards?

If so - Join me down at San Churros in East Vic Park from 6:30pm where we can do just that. I'll bring my assortment of games which Includes Uno / Monopoly Deal / Sequence / Dragonwood and more.

The Jackbox games are popular party games that are played on a big TV screen, where each player uses their mobile phone browser to play the game. You will need to bring a charged mobile phone to play. No apps are required.

The games we will play are:
Guesspionage from Jackbox Party Pack 3
Fibbage 4 from Jackbox Party Pack 9
Drawful 2 or Drawful Animate from Jackbox Party Pack 8
Quiplash 3 from Jackbox Party Pack 7

The games usually have a maximum of 8 players, but there is usually an ability to play as an audience player if we have more than 8 playing at one time.

This event will be in the private meeting room at Dome. Dinner options are available to be ordered.
