Organised by Lifeline, the campaign invites you to see the world through a different lens simply by purchasing your coffee from a participating local café.
Published on 14 October 2021
Lifeline Darling Downs and South West QLD are once again curating and hosting ‘Latte n Letters’ – their annual campaign to share stories about personal experiences with mental illness and mental wellness in the community.
There are 30 participating cafés with staff decked out in bright orange sunglasses to mark the occasion. Simply make a purchase and receive a letter from someone with a lived experience of mental illness telling their story.
The aim of the campaign is to ensure that someone can walk in your shoes, if merely for a moment, deepening the empathy and support within the community. The letters are contributed by Momentum Mental Health, Sunrise Way and the community.
The campaign will run from 11 – 17 October and the following cafés are participating:
Wendland Fine Foods (The Range & Bridge Street)
Impressions on Scott
The Finch
Copper Bench
Ground Up Espresso Bar
Phat Burgers
Park House Cafe
Ortem
Burrow Toowoomba
Deli Delicious
Spar Mackenzie Row
Two Birds' Cafe and Catering
Sage+Butler Neighbourhood Cafe
Encores Restaurant
Milk & Honey Espresso Bar
Each story provides you with an opportunity to see the world through a different lens, if merely for a moment. You can also #helushelpothers access free, confidential and local support by donating to Lifeline here.
