What is the Festival for Healthy Living?
The Festival for Healthy Living Program is a collaborative strategy developed to promote mental health and emotional wellbeing in primary and secondary schools and their communities. Supported by professional learning from the FHL Statewide Coordination Team, and a range of community-based services, the strategy is a creative opportunity for schools to review and develop their committment to student wellbeing policies and programs, and enables students to explore issues associated with mental health and emotional wellbeing. This exploration is achieved through a range of performing and visual arts workshop techniques. Students develop solution-focused performance pieces, artwork and written work facilitated by their teachers in partnership with professional performing artists.
