With the
bushfires out, floods dried up and Covid-19 easing; mental health and suicide
prevention is still a massive issue that we need to talk about.
The semicolon
has become a powerful symbol for mental illness and suicide awareness and
prevention.
Semicolon
paintings have been placed up and down the Blue Mountains.
From Glenbrook
to Mt Victoria. These paintings are there to start conversations.
50% of sales
will be donated to Black Dog Institue
As people are
returning to the Mountains or locals wanting to support local businesses, we
want you to visit one or more of the places on the Semicolon Trail. Take a
selfie with the painting and post it on Facebook or Instagram
