Improving Mental Health through Artistic Exploration

Young people across Victoria are struggling with their mental health more than ever.

Connecting like-minded people through their love of art, Hearts and Minds programs provide a space for people to gather by removing barriers to participation that may be financial, physical, and/or social. Participants develop confidence through mastery of artistic skills and presentation of public outcomes and they develop connections with peers and mentors.

Current programs include:

• Clover Film Project

• Propeller

• Building Volunteer Capacity and Connections

“Volunteering has been life changing. She sees herself as belonging in the Bluebird community and is building a new identity as a contributing member of society and a person of value to others.”

Donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible. The Bluebird Foundation Inc. Public Fund is a tax-deductible fund under item 12.1.1 of section 30-100(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
