Celebrating 8 years of Likemind Orange. This week we had the privilege of celebrating eight years of LikeMind Orange supporting the local community with accessible, integrated mental health care. The event brought together community members, local leaders like Tony Mileto, and supporters to recognise the importance of mental health services in regional areas. It was a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the impact LikeMind Orange has had, the partnerships that strengthen its work, and the continued need for mental health support in the region. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and to the dedicated team behind LikeMind Orange. Here’s to many more years of making a difference.
