During Mental Health Week in October 2025, young people at Gunners Place took part in a creative art-making session led by Caroline from Gungahlin Arts. Through guided activities in line drawing and mark making, participants explored self-expression, connection, and creativity in a relaxed drop-in environment.
Together, the group co-created a vibrant collective artwork that celebrates the many meaningful ways young people can support their mental health and wellbeing through creativity, connection, and community.
