PHS students had the opportunity to attend the LIVIN program. LIVIN is an organisation that wants to break the silence and spark conversations by encouraging all Australians to speak up and share what they are going through.

Students are now equipped with conversational strategies to drive stigma reduction around mental health, knowledge to identify warning signs, symptoms of mental health challenges, and practical strategies to help those around them struggling.

Thank you to Parkes Pharmacy who were sponsors for the LIVIN program.
