CentaCare’s Family Mental Health Support Service recently hosted a pamper day in Wilcannia to raise awareness of their programs and services and to promote self-care as a step towards positive mental health and wellbeing.

Pampering activities included foot spas, manicures and nail art, hand and feet massages, face masks and make up. A qualified beautician, Alicia from Richmond Fellowship in Bourke was available for eye brow waxing and eyelash tinting which was the most popular activity of the day.

CentaCare’s Family Mental Health Support Service Workers Abi and Vanessa explained the Mental Health Support Service offers families support, education and information.

“The program has only recently commenced in Wilcannia and we thought it was important to meet people and get out in community to explain what the program is about.

It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know people and for them to enjoy some much deserved pampering.We would like to thank Alicia for giving up her time to come out to Wilcannia from Bourke and for all the effort she put in,” they said.

Gift bags were given out to all who attended which included make up, shampoo, lip gloss, soap, jewellery, toothbrushes and other pamper care items. The pamper day was a huge success and plans are already underway to host another session soon.
