A not-for-profit organisation providing outdoor adventure programs for people with mental health challenges is calling for participants from Melbourne’s west to attend its next event at the end of this month.
Out Doors Inc. is holding a convention in Raglan, near Beaufort, from Monday, September 29 to Friday, October 3.
The convention will feature to a keynote speaker at each morning session from 9am to 10am from Tuesday to Thursday. Workshops will then be held from 10.30am to noon, before outdoor activities take over the afternoons from 1pm to 5pm.
Abseiling, hiking, rock climbing, rafting and cycling are among the outdoor activities offered at previous conventions, while creative programs like bush art and drumming are also available.
The aim is to boost the confidence and improve community and social connections for people living with, or at risk of a mental health condition.
Participants must be aged 16 or older and activities are catered for all fitness and experience levels.
