A thought-provoking literary exploration of mental health challenges

To shine a spotlight on the importance of mental health, leading mental health service provider in Northern Rivers NSW, Momentum Collective is proud to announce the forthcoming launch of an inspiring creative writing book.

The creation of the book has been a collaborative initiative involving more than 20 clients who shared their mental health journeys through therapeutic creative writing. The stories serve as a testament to resilience and the power of selfexpression in the face of adversity.

With this initiative, Momentum Collective aims to foster understanding, empathy, and dialogue surrounding mental health conditions, showcasing the creativity and resilience of individuals on their journey to wellbeing.

Momentum Collective’s CEO, Tracey Mackie, described the creative workshops as empowering.

“The writing sessions have been providing individuals with means to express themselves and navigate the complexities of mental health challenges. The Connections Program offer a pathway to enhance our client’s quality of life and community engagement through a diverse range of social group and therapeutic activities.

So far, the program has supported over 500 people in the Tweed and Brunswick regions to manage mental health conditions”, said Tracey.

The book will be available for order and pre-order at the launch event. The morning tea is being held on Thursday, 12 October, from 10am to 12pm at the Connections Centre, 34 Cunningham Street, Tweed Heads.
