Calling all people from multicultural backgrounds in Manningham and surrounds!
Come and learn more about the importance of looking after your mental health and wellbeing, and the support that is available in your local community.
Our next Strength Through Connection event is a forum on Mental Health and Multicultural Communities as part of national Mental Health Week.
This event will feature:
- specialists in multicultural mental health
- a panel of experts
- local mental health and wellbeing service providers
- plus the launch of Manningham Council's mental health services webpage by Mayor Michelle Kleinert
Mental health is a key component of overall health and well-being. 1 in 5 (21.4 per cent) Australians aged 16 to 85 have experienced a mental disorder in the past 12 months.
Many people may not be aware of what poor mental health means, how to support someone or how they can get help. The individual needs, backgrounds and identities of people can impact how, or even whether, they will seek support.
We will have a broad range of speakers who will provide information about:
- types of mental health issues
- stories of lived experience
- what treatments are available
- how can you support someone
- how to get help
- hope for recovery
We look forward to seeing you there!

Join The Men’s Table for an evening of food and laughter in celebration of Men's Health Week.
What can you expect from the evening?
- Food (included in the ticket price)
- Laughter
- Camaraderie
- Connection
- Did we mention food and laughter?
- And hear what is happening in your community to prioritise men’s health, not just in Men’s Health Week but all year round.
Hear from The Men’s Table, a men’s peer support group that meets at The Grand Hotel over dinner once a month to share openly about their lives, their challenges, their highs and lows with a group of like-minded men.
No membership fee, just the cost of your meal each month.
This event is proudly supported by Manningham City Council and Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre.
About the Men's Table
The Men’s Table creates a unique environment for men to share openly about their lives with other men.
The Men’s Table creates a sense of belonging, community, peer support and camaraderie that is lacking for many men, even for some who already have a group of mates.
The Men’s Table began in 2011 with 12 men who have met once a month for dinner and has since become a national charity and grown to 59 tables across Australia.
This evening will give you an insight into what it is like to be part of a Men’s Table and how it benefits the community as a whole. We’ll also provide details on how to join a Men’s Table for those men interested in joining.

Join us this NAIDOC week for a special screening of the Unfinished Business Documentary at Doncaster Library.
This moving documentary tells the stories of 30 First Nations people living with disabilities. Their deeply personal stories are complex and intertwined with Australia’s political and social history, which has resulted in today’s unacceptably high rates of disability in Australia’s First Nations Communities.
Their stories are also featured in the Unfinished Business exhibition, which is showing at Manningham Art Gallery until Saturday 29 July.
Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with Uncle John Baxter: Latja Latja/Narungga man, Board Member Reconciliation Victoria and First Peoples Disability Network, Aboriginal Partnership Coordinator - Brotherhood of St Laurence/NDIS, participant and creative collaborator of Unfinished Business.
Attendees will also have the chance to view the exhibition at their own pace.
The Unfinished Business Documentary is a creative collaboration between brothers, Liam and Dieter Knierim, Belinda Mason Knierim OAM, and participants.
This is a free and accessible event. Bookings not required. Refreshments will be provided.
Warning: First Nations peoples should be aware that this exhibition contains images, voices, or names of deceased persons.
If you require an Auslan interpreter to attend this event, please let us know by Friday 30 June, at 9840 9367 or gallery@manningham.vic.gov.au.
Between the Details: Video Art from the ACMI Collection presents Bayi Gardiya - Singing Desert by Dr Christian Thompson AO
In this 360-degree video experience, Christian Thompson invites audiences to walk through the landscape of his childhood. Here they will witness a simple yet profound aesthetic gesture of the artist singing in his traditional Bidjara language, a recognised lost language.
“If I sing even one word of our language, which is considered an extinct or lost language, then it can’t be described as such, because it is being presented as a living language within the art context” - Christian Thompson
See the full program at Between the Details: Video Art from the ACMI Collection.
For further information contact Manningham Art Gallery, gallery@manningham.vic.gov.au or call 9840 9367.
To experience this 360-degree work, please visit the Creative Lab located on the mezzanine floor of Doncaster Library, accessible via the lift in the junior area. There will be a staff member there to assist. Suitable for all ages.
