Proud to support mental health conversations in our community 💙

This Friday, we travel over to East Maitland, where Property Services' Hunter region team proudly supported the Blue Tree Project - an initiative that encourages open, honest conversations about mental health.

"Supporting Conversations That Matter in Newcastle!

 

Our Hunter region team recently came together to support the Blue Tree Project in East Maitland, helping bring this meaningful symbol to the community.

 

The project encourages open conversations about mental health and reminds us all that it’s okay to ask for help.
