Care for oneself, to care for others, and caring for others can then care for oneself.
This workshop, facilitated by Soraya Stuart-Smith from 20talk, is split into two focus areas.
Part 1: Care for Self explores approaches to personal mental wellbeing, generating self-compassion and coping strategies during life's challenges and triumphs. We will explore basic needs, self-love, and developing a personally tailored self-care plan.
Part 2: Care for Others will examine how to approach the mental wellbeing of other people in your life, generating compassion for others, setting and maintaining boundaries, and core aspects of how-to-support someone during mental-health struggles. We will look at conversational examples and brainstorm compassionate approaches to asking helpful questions of those that might be struggling.

About 20talk
20talk is a charity that began in response to a series of suicides that occurred 3-4 years ago. It has grown into a diverse approach to youth mental health, aimed particularly at audiences in their 20s. We run social events that hold innovative and interactive activities. Our spaces offer permission to have conversations about our mental health and invite deeper connections with others in the community. Introspection, growth, and compassionate curiosity are at the heart of what drives InsideOUT.
About the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival
Presented by Propel Youth Arts WA, the KickstART Festival has been the flagship event of Youth Week WA for 12 years running. KickstART offers over 60 free events - including workshops, talks, performances, mentorships, exhibitions, markets, and other special events - between 8 - 16 April, for young people aged 12-26.
Due to growing concerns about COVID-19 and the anticipated continued spread of Omicron across our communities in Boorloo (Perth) and WA, the Propel team has decided to pivot towards digital and hybrid formats for the delivery of the KickstART Festival this April.
The Youth Week WA KickstART Festival 2022 is presented by Propel Youth Arts WA and is funded by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. KickstART is also supported by Lotterywest, the City of Perth, the City of Stirling, the City of Fremantle, and the City of Vincent.
