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:

  • arTIKulate

  • Building Volunteer Capacity and Connections

  • Guardians of the Garden

  • Propeller

“Bluebird gives me an opportunity to learn new skills, connect with people and make meaningful friendships, I learn about different art forms and have learnt a lot about art, music and creativity. Bluebird gives me a great sense of purpose, of joy, connection and community.”
