Join us for the second Greater Bunbury Youth Mental Health Forum! Following the success of the 2025 event – which saw over 110 students, 20 school staff and 16 stallholders come together – this year’s Forum promises to be even bigger and better. It’s a fantastic opportunity for Year 10–12 students to engage in meaningful discussions around mental health, leadership, and youth empowerment.

The 2026 Greater Bunbury Youth Mental Health Forum offers an engaging mix of keynote speakers, interactive workshops, and hands-on activities that provide practical strategies for mental health and wellbeing. Don’t miss out this free opportunity to support the young people in our community improve their wellbeing and connect with local youth and mental health services.
