The Capertee Valley community recently completed their Blue Tree Project to raise awareness of rural mental health concerns, particularly in the wake of December 2019 bushfires.

Resulting from the ongoing partnership and support between Lithgow City Council and the Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District in the wake of recent natural disasters, both organisations have worked with the Capertee Valley community to complete their local ‘Blue Tree Project’. This event aimed to facilitate a local awareness of mental health issues in a community still recovering from the effects of recent natural disasters.

If you need support or have concerns regarding the mental health of others, there are many services available to assist. For professional support, please visit https://www.bluetreeproject.com.au/seek-help. Take a look to see what might work best for you.
