Hello.
Hello. has been around since 2019, helping the Latrobe Valley community connect with each other in the simplest way possible – by just saying ‘hello’.
Social connection is important for our mental health and wellbeing, preventing mental illness and helping us to live well. Our social connections include people we know; the friends we confide in, the family we belong to and the community we live in.
To reach all corners of Latrobe, Hello. has seen many different forms; you might have seen Hello. on local busses, people donning the classic Hello. t-shirt, or even scored a free cuppa from a pop-up cafe!
2022 saw 6-months of ongoing Hello. celebrations, including a Winter Festival, a pen pal program promoting intergenerational connections between primary schools and retirement homes, a board games with young people, a local pets event and Social Inclusion Week. Â
