About Blue Tree Project

Blue Tree Project is a mental health charity that began in 2019 after the tragic loss of Jayden Whyte, a much-loved son, brother and friend to suicide in 2018. Blue Tree Project began as a grassroots initiative in regional Western Australia which has grown into a widely recognised and impactful global charity.

These striking symbols of hope have resonated deeply, sparking open and meaningful conversations, positively transforming attitudes towards mental health.

Every Blue Tree holds its own story 💭⁠ ⁠ Some carry tales of whole towns rolling up their sleeves to spark conversations. ⁠ ⁠ Many are painted by little hands as they learn it’s ok to talk about how they feel and ask for help.⁠ ⁠ Others are painted by families turning their grief into hope, a reminder for passersby to spark a conversation, check in on each other and reach out for support if they need it.⁠ ⁠ All 1,564 Blue Trees are unique but carry the same goal: a world where we can talk openly about what's weighing on us, so no one has to feel alone 💙⁠ ⁠ 📍Lancelin, WA

Burnout can sneak up quietly at this time of year 🎅⁠ ⁠ Between trying to do it all, finishing the year, wrapping presents, planning a holiday or thinking about what's next. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed, but this shouldn't feel like the norm.⁠ ⁠ That's why its so important to take a moment and check in with yourself and your mental load, especially when external pressures are building. ⁠ ⁠ Listen to the signs your body might be sending you - that exhaustion 24/7 is it's way of signaling that it's time to pause and put a few things in place to look after yourself during the season.⁠ ⁠ If you're feeling burnt out, you're not alone. Prioritise recharging your energy and getting back to feeling like yourself 💙

Although mining can look like it's on autopilot, there's a team working around the clock to make it happen 👷 ⁠ ⁠ At the recent Miners Mingle, Blue Tree Project CEO Kendall Whyte OAM, Paul Turley, Michael Place and Robbie Figg as moderator shared honest insights about the mental wellbeing challenges in the mining industry.⁠ ⁠ For FIFO workers, balance isn't always easy. Long stints away, performance pressures and time off that doesn't always leave you feeling recharged. The panel opened up the conversation and talked about ways to build routines, stay connected and help FIFO workers thrive both on and off site.
