The Warragul and Drouin Gazette: A further 27 secondary students from throughout Baw Baw Shire have been inducted into the Live4Life Crew. The induction held at the West Gippsland Arts Centre is the first step for the students in years nine and 10 becoming community leaders and mental health ambassadors. They have committed to work collaboratively to reduce the stigma of mental ill health within their communities and decided on a theme for the year which will be announced at an upcoming launch function.

Live4Life Baw Baw was launched in 2020 and is delivered in partnership with all secondary schools and other education providers in Baw Baw as well as six community agencies. 

Save the Date! The Baw Baw Live4Life Community launch event is happening on Thursday the 24th of February 2022.

Please join us for a very special screening of the documentary 'Happy Sad Man' including a Q&A with the filmmakers.
