Taking time out for mental health

Posted on October 9th, 2019

Juggling, slinkies and moulding playdoh was among the list of fun activities on offer at the CentacareCQ stall as part of Take Time Out in Rockhampton today on behalf of the Central Queensland Hospital and Health Services.

CentacareCQ Family Relationship Centre administration assistant Chantelle Barber said the day was a great success with people from all walks of life attending the event to explore the stalls, unwind and participate in activities.

Amidst the activities at CentacareCQ were juggling and moulding with playdoh.

“The Playdoh is part of a ‘flow activity’ we hold as part of our Wheel of Wellbeing,” Chantelle explained.

“Basically we ask the participant what they enjoy doing and they are then asked to mould that using the playdoh – it’s a perfect activity of getting into the flow zone.”
