Turning Silence Blue: The Blue Tree Project

In this episode of She Mines, I’m joined by Kendall, the founder of the Blue Tree Project — a movement that has become a powerful symbol for mental health awareness across Australia and the world.Kendall shares her deeply personal journey with mental health, the story behind how the Blue Tree Project began, and the impact it has had on individuals and communities. What started from a place of pain has grown into something that’s helping people feel seen, start conversations, and remind others that they’re not alone.We also talk about how these conversations translate into high-pressure industries like mining — where long hours, isolation, and a culture of resilience can often make it harder to speak up. This episode is a reminder of the importance of connection, checking in, and creating spaces where people feel safe to be honest.If you’ve ever struggled, know someone who has, or want to better support a mate — this conversation is for you.If this episode resonates, share it with someone who might need it.To learn more about the Blue Tree Project, get involved, or reach out for support, you can find them on:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bluetreeproject/Website - https://bluetreeproject.com.au/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/bluetreeproject/posts/?feedView=all
