Act Belong Commit

Green thumbs at the ready 🌱 It’s the season for getting outdoors, getting your hands dirty, planting seedlings, building worm farms and picking up little bits of knowledge about how to help a garden grow. Here’s a handful of green-thumbed opportunities we’ve spotted, but be sure to check locally and see what’s happening in your area. 🌿 Join a workshop and learn how to grow your own food with the Shire of Goomalling
 🌼 Enjoy some stunning natives at the opening of the new native garden with @shireofmerredin 🪱 If worms and composting are your thing, learn more about setting up worm farms with @cityofvincent 🌱 Or become a Weeding Warrior and help care for bushland reserves with @cityofkwinana Verge planting season is happening now too, with some councils offering subsidised plant packs, so it’s worth checking what’s available in your area. Community gardens are also beautiful places to spend time and connect with nature, meet people, share a cuppa and be part of something bigger. Whether it’s a workshop, a community planting session, swapping a few gardening tips or simply enjoying time in the garden, it’s all good for your mental wellbeing and a little bit of nature’s magic 💚 📸 @padburycommunitygardeninc

Encore! Bravo! What an inspiring show of creativity last month! 👏 We loved seeing you step outside your comfort zone – trying something new, joining a class, getting involved behind the scenes, or creating quietly at Victoria Park’s Men’s Shed (hello pizza oven disguised as a turtle ). From the magical sounds of @sambanistas , to @aqua.kreartz bringing together art and wellbeing in Yanchep, and to the creative hub led by @building_busselton , it’s been great to see all kinds of art right across WA.   Arts April might be over, but the mental wellbeing benefits of creativity are something you can keep coming back to. 💜

Love the arts but not the spotlight? You don’t have to be on stage to get involved. From helping behind the scenes with a local theatre group to exploring galleries or dancing in your living room, there are plenty of ways to enjoy creativity, your way. It’s about connection and doing what you love, both are good for your mental wellbeing. 💜

Art is everywhere, you just have to look. 🎨 Perth is filled with outdoor public art, waiting to be discovered. Explore local art trails and connect with creativity in your community. Act Belong Commit and Destination WA have teamed up to showcase WA’s incredible art trails and explain how engaging with all kinds of art can support your mental wellbeing. Take a look 👇

When was the last time you did this? Activities like colouring can help you switch off and relax, helping your mind slow down. It’s a simple way to practise mindfulness and support your mental wellbeing. You’re never too old 💜 Download the colouring sheets via the link in bio.

Retro games are back 🎲 From Operation to Dungeons & Dragons, it’s time to dust off those boxes and press play. Good for a laugh, good for your mind. #actbelongcommit #mentalhealth

Creativity isn’t about perfection, it’s about the process 💜 Research shows that doing something creative is good for our mental wellbeing. It can help us open our minds to new ideas and see things differently. Whether it’s music, art or something else entirely, it’s something we can all connect with – because creativity isn’t just for creative people. So, what are you up to this weekend? #ActBelongCommit #art #mentalhealth

What fills your cup? High notes, harmonies… or a little boot scootin’ 💜🤠 Whatever your thing is, doing what you love and making some time for you is important. It's good for your mental wellbeing.👌 #ActBelongCommit #sing #mentalhealth
