Mental Health Advocates Unite to Publish their Book in Honour of Mental Health Awareness Month

Momentum Collective, a leading provider of mental health support services in Northern Rivers, celebrated a significant milestone by supporting their clients to launch their own book to raise awareness of mental health. The event, held at the Connections Centre on Thursday, October 12, was a testament to the resilience and creativity of Momentum’s clients as they shared their personal stories of overcoming mental health challenges.

The day commenced with an Acknowledgement to Country and welcomed over 30 guests including clients, staff and Tweed Shire Councilor Nolan Firth.

Vanessa Riggs, Momentum’s Service Manager, emphasised the importance of mental health and the transformative influence it has had on clients engaged in regular creative writing workshops at the centre.

“Together, we celebrated the remarkable talents of our clients and engaged in a meaningful dialogue about the significance of mental health support, underlining the profound impact of this book on our clients’ lives.”

One of Momentum’s cherished clients, Wayne, who refers to the Connections Centre as his second home, emotionally shared his gratitude during the event, saying, “The Connections Centre has truly saved my life. It’s my sanctuary, where I find safety and support whenever life feels overwhelming.”

The book is available for pre-order via the email at Momentum Collective  communications@mymomentum.org.au or via phone number 1300 900 091.
