Blue Tree Project

Kicking the stigma of mental health, one blue tree at a time.

Behind each blue tree lies a story

Blue Tree Project was founded with a mission to help spark difficult conversations and encourage people to speak up when experiencing mental health concerns. We believe help is never as far away as it feels.

Blue trees dotted across every continent of the world (minus Antarctica) are both beacons of hope, and conversation starters.

Something that began out of tragedy now offers a positive way for people to connect and help change the way we talk about mental health.

Donate to Blue Tree Project. Every contribution counts.

Help us build a mentally healthy future and support our cause. 
All funds will be channelled into community events, projects and educational courses.

The Tree House

The Tree House

‘The Tree House’ is Perth’s newest collaborative hub powered by Blue Tree Project serving as the headquarters for the charity. The character style office in West Perth offers plenty of character and soul making it the perfect home for Blue Tree Project.

We visited Manea Senior College where the last mural as part of the ‘School Mural Project’ was painted by @imogenpalmer_art thanks to our partnership with @higgins_coatings . ⁠
⁠
Our CEO Kendall spoke with all year 10 and 11 students to share more on the project and ways we can help kick the stigma of mental health. It was awesome to hear that Manea is introducing cohort wide Student Mental Health First Aid training - something that will no doubt stay with them beyond the school yard. 💙⁠
Two hands are better than one! 👐⁠
⁠
Anything that is human is mentionable, anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. Let’s work together as a community to break the stigma surrounding mental health. 💙
Limited stock left for our winter drop! These jumpers have been our reliable go-to pieces as this weather hangs around! ☁️

It’s Mental Health Week and we’re kicking things off with our national ‘Paint A Tree Blue Day’! 💙 We are so grateful to everyone who has embraced our project and helped us spread our mission and cause since 2019!

We all have a part to play in building a mentally healthy future 💙 what are you doing this week to help?
You’re going to see plenty on your social feeds this week in regards to mental health but we just ask you to do this one relatively simple task. Create a proactive ‘go-to’ personal mental health plan for yourself if things were to take a turn for the worst. What would be your strategy and where would you go? 

Maybe it’s time to read up on your local mental health support providers (including small lesser known not for profits doing great things), or on your local psychologists & counsellors that might be a good fit if the day came.

We realise people will be at different stages and hope this may be able to help keep some of you mentally healthy if you hit a couple of bumps along the way💙
Staff & customers at Rocky Bay (Mosman Park) hub got a bit creative for #MentalHealthWeek! 💙⁠
⁠
Rock Bay offer a comprehensive range of NDIS therapies and specialty services and celebrate potential in all its amazing uniqueness. The team at Rocky Bay said “We are excited to be supporting the important message behind the Blue Tree Project, and we're ready to partner with our customers, carers and staff to kick the stigma around mental illness”.⁠
Bushmead residents came together for #mentalhealthweek to paint a community blue tree, each leaving their handprints to mark their support. 💙🖐️⁠
⁠
City of Swan Mayor David Lucas also lent a hand. “It is my hope that this tree will serve as a permanent catalyst to spark conversations in the local community around mental wellness and suicide prevention. Now more than ever, it is important that we consistently show people kindness, support and understanding with regard to their mental health.”⁠
The reach of the Blue Trees are stretching far and wide. Now our mission to break the stigma of mental health has reached the shores of South Africa! 💙⁠
⁠
At Hillside Aluminium, in Richards Bay, colleagues came together to talk about mental health issues in the workplace. Each person then received a blue flower to add to their office tree. We love seeing how communities have created their own spin on the blue tree.⁠
Raising The Vibe Festival @raisingthevibe_festival over the weekend did just that!! It was so great to see the crowds dancing away and hearing so many conversations about mental health. 💪 The atmosphere at the foreshore was pretty special and were stoked all funds raised are going to the @safespacebusselton 💙Thank you to everyone who came down to see @southsummitband @deathbydenim @prettyuglysband and @potplanthouseparty - they all did a ripper job up on stage 🤙 until next year!
We’re not sure what’s better? The fact that 1.5 billion containers have been saved from landfill or your 10c donations can help charity’s make change. ♻️⁠
⁠
We now have our own @4changewa membership and can accept your 10c containers. Take a screenshot of the QR code to help us directly. ⁠
⁠
P.S spot the blue tree cap on this local hero from @bottletophill at the Perth Royal Show recently.🧢💙⁠
It was a real community effort to get this tree painted in Kingsthorpe, Queensland. Local businesses and family friends rallied together to get it all done before the rain settled in. Special thanks to Loughlin’s Mum for being the driving force behind this tree. 💙
This week we finally got to see the incredible engineering feat in land at Karara Mine. Even their trains were put on hold for this whopping blue tree which now stands at their site entrance! The project helped rally several contractors and organisations to do their part and it has become a catalyst for change up on site 💪.

We finished the visit off with a trivia night and BBQ that filled the wet mess!

Thank you to each and everyone who has helped us spread our cause and mission at Karara. And a special thanks to Lidia who is the cornerstone of the project on site 💙 We can’t wait to share more at @mercinperth around the fundraising figures of the mighty Karara Dragons Team!

Belridge Secondary College came together to give this tree a ‘blue lease on life’. It stands tall and proud on the school grounds, serving as a visual reminder for students to check in with themselves and their mates. 🤝⁠
⁠
Schools right across Australia are now using the blue trees to start those important conversations about taking care of your mental health. Does your school have a blue tree? We would love to see it. 💙⁠
Cats out of the bag! New threads in for summer🙀💙 #sneekpeak
It was a night of impact, entertainment, fundraising and fun! 🥊 What an incredible event @corporate_boxing_event was to be involved in! 

Each competitor trained for 12 weeks to build resilience and improve their fitness to ensure a safe fight. Thank to those who got in the ring to fight the stigma for @bluetreeproject 💙

Thank you for having us as your charity partner @corporate_boxing_event ! It’s always a special experience to be the charity partner of events and it’s even greater when we get to share the space with incredible individuals such as the ‘Strong Minds, Strong Mines’ team (@soathehulk & @nidiarodriguesxo). They have a work ethic that is hard to match, and the humblest hearts that will only do good!

Looking forward to sharing more about the night - particularly the fantastic shots by @shirinismailcarter & @ericpaulgoldie 📸
Congratulations to the 2023 Young Australian of the Year for WA @pbol800! 

We extend this congratulations to all the finalists and nominees for the @australianoftheyear awards 💙

From Kendall:
It has been a privilege to be a part of the awards and I will never take for granted being given this platform to help spread the cause of @bluetreeproject. I also want to thank the crew from the ‘A-Team’ /awesome foursome - your friendship and support has been so humbling and special! Goodluck Peter and all the best for your next chapter 💙
Never Walk Alone - @penrith_mens_walk_and_talk_ & WestCare Penrith rallied their community to paint a tree along the Great River Walk, a popular route on the banks of the Nepean River. It’s groups like this that help change the attitudes by being on the ground and creating those relationships of trust. We have seen time and time again that these are crucial for people to open up when struggling.

Congratulations to these guys for helping kick the stigma of mental health. We appreciate the time and effort involved to help spread our cause. We hope the tree helps serve as a reminder to those out and about, but also help spark those important conversations whilst doing it. 💙

NEW MERCH - just in time for summer ☀️ Available via our website now. Order before 7th December to get them before Christmas! 💙
DAY 1 at @mercinperth down at Langley Park was awesome! We had a great day painting, chatting with supporters and watching the scenarios! Come down and say hi tomorrow! (7am-12pm) 🔥🚒👩‍🚒
Be brave enough to start a conversation that matters - our future depends on it 💙 

We love this photo of these little ones hard at work. This tree was transplanted for painting so it could be put in the perfect spot 💙
We’re proud to be working with ‘Strong Minds, Strong Mines’ for the @corporate_boxing_event! 🥊🧠 Through the hard work of the fighters and the generous donations on the night $41,500 was raised for @bluetreeproject! However, the night saw $121,063 raised for various charity partners 👏 

Special mention to @soathehulk and @nidiarodriguesxo for backing BTP - we can’t wait for next years event (there’s some seriously exciting changes coming - follow @corporate_boxing_event). 

Who knows - you might even see @kendallwhyte jump in the ring?! 🥊😝
Did you know we’re well on our way to reaching 1000 blue trees?! They’re scattered across Australia and around the globe serving as visual reminders to check in with yourself and loved ones.⁠
⁠
Painted a tree but haven’t registered it with us? Head to the link in our bio to add your tree to the growing list. 💙⁠
We have a blue tree in Indonesia! 🇮🇩⁠
⁠
During covid, Indonesian schools were closed for 2 years. So when they finally reopened, students from British School Jakarta came together to paint this tree. ⁠
⁠
Prolonged periods of isolation can have a lasting effect on someone’s mental health. Remember we are always stronger together - use this as a reminder to reach out to a mate, a small conversation can make a big difference!💙⁠
For the third year running we have been lucky enough to join @mercinperth as their charity partner! 

This weekend is one of our favourites as we get to engage with the public, see old friends and meet some incredible people. This year our wellbeing hub had painting activities, the juke buggy playing fun tunes and a space to connect and support individuals where needed 💙

Our appreciation for the training and eduction this event promotes has grown as we have spent more time in the resources sector! Congratulations to all the winning teams and volunteers! 

Lastly, thank you @breight_group , @paullandwarnerresources and @redearthhealthsolutions  for their incredible support and generosity - without your backing BTP wouldn't be where it is today! 👏

Special mention to Karara Mining who have worked hard throughout the year to raise $27,109 that contributed to the overall donation. As well as the incredible artwork by @peterfarmerart2 🙌 We look forward to putting the $127,000 raised back into regional areas to promote mental wellbeing!
This dead tree was going to be removed from the Archery Club in Whiteman, WA. Thankfully the Locke family saw it as an opportunity to give it a ‘blue lease on life’. ⁠
⁠
Three generations came together to spread the paint and share the important message that “it’s OK to not be OK”. 💙
This project in Banjup started with just two people. But once word got out, around 30 others came to lend a helping hand. 🤝⁠
⁠
Remember there will always be someone willing to help, you just have to ask. ‘We are stronger than we believe, braver than we think and more loved than we’ll ever know’. 💙⁠
We love seeing communities come together to start those important conversations about mental health 💪

Sending a special thanks to Angus who spearheaded this blue tree painting day in Walcha, NSW. 💙
R U OK? It’s a simple question, but it can mean the world to the person you are asking. Don’t feel like you need to know all the answers - no one does. Actively listen, it may just save a life 💙
A NIGHT UNDER THE STARS ✨ 

Over the weekend we brought to life a pretty special event for regional mental health. 650 people gathered at @bucklandestate for a purposeful unique evening and it was an absolute success!!

A massive thank you to all of our incredible sponsors. We value each and every one of you and appreciate your generous contribution! 

Thank you to all the attendees who respected each other and the event as a whole - it was a privilege to host you all and we thank you for the support!

It goes without saying but thank you to @courtney.thornton1 and all the incredible people who have helped us build this event! 

We look forward to welcoming you back next year 🤠
Team work makes the dream work 🫶

A special shout-out to Frank, Meg and Richard for rallying the troops to paint this tree blue at South Middleback Ranges Mine in Whyalla, South Australia. 

It was a big mission to find, transplant and paint this tree. It now sits in a very prominent position so everyone can see it before they start the work day. 

Thank you for keeping the conversation going! 💙
Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you. 🤝⁠
⁠
It’s OK to have a bad day. But when those bad days become more often than not - reach out to your loved ones.⁠
⁠
If you don’t have a strong support network for those days that are a little harder, please remember the great resources we have available in Australia. You can find them in the link in our bio. 💙⁠

Members of the 1st Recruit Training Battalion painted two trees blue to keep the conversation going at Kapooka Military Area. Nice work team 💪💙
Seeing young people champion our message and help build a mentally health future is honestly the best! 💙

The students (with special mention to Isabella) from The Armidale School (TAS) @tasarmidale in NSW painted a tree on their school campus and have made it a topic of focus. 💪

We are proud of Isabella’s strength after loosing her father to suicide in 2020, prompting her to not only paint a tree at her school but also on her homestead in Scone. And as a result many conversations have been started!!

As Isabelle said “we can’t replace those who we have lost along the way but we can make a difference to those we have close by.” 💙
Spotto! 🐰 There's nothing like getting your family and friends together for an Easter egg hunt. Use this time to nourish your soul with chocolate and quality time with your loved ones.  Stay safe and we wish you a happy long weekend! 💙
"Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start."⁠
⁠
Remember, your mental health journey is a process, and it's okay to start from wherever you are. Take it one step at a time and never give up hope. You got this! 💪💙

Today we were in Australia’s capital spreading our cause & mission 💙 It’s great to have the government back our project and see it as a valuable way to create awareness of mental well-being. 

The base of the tree was painted by many helpers and the upper branches will be finished off on Thursday! We can’t wait to share the final product 👏

Big shoutout to our mates at @higgins_coatings for supplying all the paint & equipment 🎨 #legends

#mentalhealth #actgov #bluetreeproject
