WA’s BIGGEST youth mental health forum is heading to the Goldfields!
On Thursday, 20 August 2026, zero2hero is hitting the road and bringing the full In Your Head experience live to the Goldfields Arts Centre.
In Your Head is our biggest youth event, and now in its tenth year, we’re bringing it to Kalgoorlie. Students from Kalgoorlie and surrounding communities will hear from inspiring keynote speakers, engaging panelists and expert facilitators, with interactive breakout sessions running throughout the day.
Make it a whole school wellbeing day, and give your students the tools to look after their mental health, support their mates, and make a positive impact in your school community.
Bring along a year group, leadership team, or your entire school, for a shared experience that truly matters.
