        The message is simple — slow down, connect with family and friends, notice all the amazing things around you, help others, and share a whole bucket of kindness.

        This event is proudly supported by local sponsors and community partners, helping make mental health awareness something the whole family can celebrate — because mental health is not as scary as you think all part of the extra Halloween fun locals are providing for families.
    
                  
                                                                                                                                                                                    
                              
        Be mindful, families may be out trick or treating, so take care around the Deni CBD this afternoon.
