The 314 Movement Launch - Mar 14, 2026

Presented by: Euphoria Social in partnership with Community Bank Clifton Hill–North Fitzroy
Auslan interpreters supporting the speaker and performance segments.

A community picnic for everyday wellbeing

The 314 Movement Launch is a free, peer-led community event introducing Australia’s first LGBTQIAPN+ mental health initiative built around a simple daily practice:

3 Gratitudes
1 Support
4 Breaths

We’ll be gathering outdoors in North Fitzroy to share food, stories, creativity, and time together. This isn’t a talk, a lecture, or a workshop you have to complete — it’s a gentle check-in with yourself and with each other.

This is not a clinical space.
It’s a grassroots community event.

Register to join us – Tickets are free, but spaces are limited. Reserve yours so you don’t miss out!

What is the 314 Movement?

The 314 Movement is a peer-led mental health initiative for LGBTQIAPN+ communities by Euphoria Social.
It aims to:

Reduce stigma around mental health
Encourage early help-seeking
Strengthen community connection

The 314 Check-In is simple, repeatable, and accessible:

3 Gratitudes – what you’re thankful for
1 Support – a person, place, or service that supports you
4 Breaths – slow, grounding breaths

The launch event introduces this practice through peer-led activities, storytelling, workshops, and lived-experience leadership.

What this day is (and isn’t)

This day is about everyday wellbeing, done together.

It is:

A calm, joyful picnic

Optional, gentle, and low-pressure
A place to listen, reflect, wander, or rest

It is not:

Crisis support
Counselling, therapy, or medical care
A space where you must share anything personal

You’re welcome for five minutes or the whole afternoon. You don’t have to participate, support, or even stay — you belong either way.

There’s no strict schedule — come and go as you like.

Activities include:

Arrival & Welcome: community sign-in, info packs, 314 cards, light grazing, and beverage

This day is about being human together.
No pressure. No perfection. Just connection.

Bring a blanket, come as you are — or don’t, and that’s okay too.
