Thinking about volunteering?

A Collaborative Project between HNEMH Peer Workforce, HNEMH Volunteer Service, HNEMH Lived Experience Participation Unit and the Mater Mental Health Centre

Since 2020, Hunter New England Mental Health facilitated an initiative to distribute cards of kindness and hope to people who were spending the December holiday season in mental health units. We know that for many people this time is particularly challenging. This initiative is inspired by the US project ‘The Letters from No One’ and is commonly facilitated by people with lived experience of mental health challenges and their allies.

In 2023, around 300 cards were decorated, written and distributed across our mental health facilities in the District. 

We would love your support to roll out this project again in 2024! ​

Workshops will be held in the November/December period with dates and times yet to be confirmed.
