Coodanup College has been recognised for its commitment to mental health at the 2019 Western Australian Mental Health Awards.
Almost 150 nominations were received across eight categories, with the winners selected for their dedication to improving the mental health and wellbeing of Western Australians.
Mental Health Minister Roger Cook awarded Perth Inner City Youth Service the Diversity Award, for its strong focus on assisting young LGBTIQA people who are experiencing disconnection from their family, and associated mental health challenges and homelessness.
The Pilbara's Aboriginal Males Healing Centre won the Lotterywest Innovation for Change Award and Coodanup College was awarded the Mentally Healthy Education Award.
The awards are followed by the two-day 2019 WA Mental Health Conference which starts today at the Hyatt Perth with more than 400 delegates attending from across Australia.
