Bridge Walk for Mental Health
For the past ten years, the Wellness Walk has offered our communities a fantastic opportunity to get out for a walk and increase physical activity while showing support for people living with mental health challenges, their families, and carers.
Crossing Sydney Harbour Bridge signifies bridging the gap between the mental health support that exists and the support that’s still desperately needed. Gathering together demonstrates fellowship, union, and care for the people we support. The act of walking reflects that living with mental health challenges is a step-by-step, one-step-at-a-time process.
Participants will be able to celebrate their efforts with a vibrant festival full of fun activities on the grounds of Government House. People can either choose to walk 2km around the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens or 5.9km across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and back.
