MENTAL Health Week has kicked off with a busy day of community activities, as local organisations band together to drum up support and awareness.

From drumming workshops to singing, there was plenty for people to take part in at the Warwick Town Hall yesterday.

With their hearts pumping and hands banging, participants felt the rhythm and learnt some lessons as they drummed.

Headspace Warwick's Wendy Cochrane headed up the activity.

"You feel a connection with the people you played drums with," she said.

"When you're playing in sync with people there's such a buzz - it feeds your soul and makes you feel good."

More free activities continue today and tomorrow, with everyone invited to join in.

The Town Hall will also have some community graffiti art happening, with locals encouraged to add their mark to a community canvas.

The mural, drawn by local artist Sue Keong, will be hung in the Town Hall during mental health week activities.

Everyone is invited to add to the piece by drawing in their visualisation of mental health.

Community collaboration is also a focus of the busy week of activities, according to Partners in Recovery's Julia Keogh.

"We're trying to bring everyone in the community together and engage everyone in the conversation about mental health."

Tonight the Warwick Town Hall will be buzzing with conversation about mental health issues.

Ms Keogh said the community Q&A session was one of the highlights of the week.

"We're launching the community care card with the Southern Downs Regional Council," she said.

"Then we'll have our community Q&A with local mental health professionals and Mary Woods from Tie up the Black Dog."

The event will include free wood fire pizzas and is open to everyone.
