Our Mental Health Week event, centered around a poetry competition and reading with the theme ‘Space’, invites participants to explore the concept of space in various forms, whether it’s mental, emotional, or physical.

The key focus of the project is creating a safe writing space for emerging voices with a lived/living experience of mental health issues to express their experience through writing, prompting a shift in focus away from diagnosis towards recovery and creativity.

This year we also want to increase our audience, with a reading event to be held at Hobart Library.

Entries to the Poetry Competition close Wednesday 3 September 2025.

Reading event will be held on Monday 6th October 2025 at the Hobart Library, time to be confirmed.
