Mental Health Awareness

18 September 2024

Earlier this month the East Arnhem Regional Council (EARC) team got involved with 'Conquer the Corrugations' and 'R U OK?' to raise awareness on Mental Health. 


The EARC Animal Management Team participated in the annual charity walk 'East Arnhem Conquer the Corrugations'. This 30km walk is aimed at raising awareness and reducing the stigma around mental health disorders. Over 200 people participated in the walk along the Central Arnhem Road.


Multiple 'R U OK?' events were celebrated in the EARC Offices. 'R U OK?' encourages meaningful conversations with friends, family members, colleagues, partners, or teammates to support them through life's ups and downs every day. A big thanks to our wonderful team who helped organise.
