For many personal reasons I said YES. AdopTEA Gold Coast hosted by Denna- My Adoptive Heart is returning this year during Queensland Mental Health Week (5-13 October 2024) highlighting the mental health issues for adopted people. The AdopTEA aims to increase awareness and understanding of the impacts of adoption on adopted people and reduce the stigma associated with reaching out and seeking support. We'd love you to join us over a cuppa and pastries, to help highlight adoptee mental health during Queensland Mental Health Week 2024. All adopted people, their partners and families are welcome. My Adoptive Heart is hosting a morning tea of your choice of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or a soft drink. The venue is sponsoring pastries! Arrival: 10am Film Screen: 10:30am AEST Q&A with Film Director: 12 noon AEST Stay for Lunch (optional - own expense) We encourage you to stay for a Q&A with the Director via Zoom. ———- Can’t make the event, not on the Gold Coast?
