HEADSPACE
Creating connections during NAIDOC Week
The headspace team were proud to celebrate and
honour the history, culture and achievements of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples during
NAIDOC Week. The theme was For Our Elders and paid
tribute to elder knowledge, strength, resilience and
the passing down of cultural art, stories and wisdom to
young people.
We participated in a number of activities and marked
the week with the launch of two works by local artists
and proud Palawa Trawlwoolway women Josie and
Emily Gower, who first connected with headspace
via our Take a Step campaign. The sisters created
twin works, one for a thoroughfare at Bendigo Senior
Secondary College and the other for the foyer at
headspace Bendigo’s Pall Mall location.
