The aim is to have a event within the community you live in and spread the word about organisations out there which let us educate ourselves about depression and provide a starting point for people in need.
By the end of the day NO ONE will do the work for us we need to do it ourselves!
It is for each one of us to find causes for happiness and discover the smiles which lie beneath.
How do you do it??
- Most important thing to remember is to have FUN.
- Register your event on the Website http://www.bluehatproject.org.au/
- Organise yourself fact sheets from the different organisations which are dealing with mental illness and have lots of educational material available such as:
Sane
Beyond blue
Black dog
- Ask people to bring a plate to make the day easy and relaxed. Remember it is about getting together, having fun and making recourse material available.
- Have some games ( see suggestions for activities)
- Have hats at the door (if you have some) for those people who come without a hat.
- If you raise money, find details on the Website for depositing monies, making sure the details are the same as your registered event. Click here.
- Send us a picture of your event for our website
