Army fight mental illness stigmas

Staff ReporterFremantle Gazette

The event was held as part of The Fifth Army Day of Action, a month-long campaign to raise awareness of and fight the stigma associated with mental illness.

Headspace Fremantle manager Paul Loesby said each team was given questions themed around youth mental health issues that led them to the next scavenger hunt location.

‘The Fifth Army fight against mental health stigma is a valuable opportunity to do something fun in the local Fremantle community that helps connect young people with each other in a fun way while reinforcing the message that it’s OK to talk about how you feel when you’re going through a difficult time,’ he said.
