headspace Celebration

headspace Darwin celebrated the official opening of their new centre at Casuarina and headspace National’s 10th birthday. headspace Darwin was opened in 2007 with Anglicare NT as the lead Agency.  The birthday celebration provided an opportunity to showcase and highlight the need for high quality, youth-friendly mental health community services for all young people in Greater Darwin including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people; GLBTIQ young people, CALD young people and their family, friends or carers. headspace Darwin also celebrates accreditation against the National Standards for Mental Health Services.

There was something for everyone at the opening.
