The City of Rockingham has decided on the location for a tree to be painted blue to raise awareness of mental health.
The Blue Tree Project aims to spark difficult conversations around mental health and encourages people to speak up about mental health.
By painting trees blue, the Blue Tree Project aims to spread the message that “it’s OK not to be OK,” and that through a collective effort, the stigma around mental health can be broken down.
The tree in Rockingham will be painted on the corner of Baldivis Road and Safety Bay Road.
