Lifeline North Coast - FluroFriday

1 videos • 0 views • by Lifeline North Coast WHAT IS FLURO FRIDAY? OneWave runs weekly Fluro Friday sessions where we dress up in bright fluro outfits and share waves and stories to raise awareness of mental health. Sometimes one wave is all it takes to free the funk and wearing bright colours makes people happy and helps start conversations about mental health, which is often invisible. At Fluro Friday’s we focus on early prevention because we know community, connection and conversations save lives. When people have a trusted community to surf and share stories with they are much more likely to take positive action for their mental health. WHAT HAPPENS AT FLURO FRIDAY? Fluro Friday's consist of surfing/saltwater therapy and an “anti-bad vibes circle” allowing people to have conversations about mental health in a safer non judgemental space. The anti- bad vibe circle discussion is facilitated by volunteer OneWave Tribe Leaders. If people require professional support we help connect them with professional mental health services. Fluro Friday’s are a free community event and you don’t have to be a surfer to be involved.
