We all face challenges. There is no one right way to react and we need to regularly check on our mental wellbeing, which is often misunderstood. According to the World Health Organization, it is “a state in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.”

But sometimes, it is hard to cope, and we don’t always understand what we are feeling or how to respond. While it may seem that there are lots of ways we can improve how we are feeling, connecting to the right support for yourself or others can be overwhelming.

Join us for a community information session bringing together personal and professional perspectives to start the conversation on: 

• What is mental wellbeing, and why is it important?
• Recognising in yourself or others when something isn't right
• Reaching out – where do you start?
• Finding the right supports
• Strengthening our community connections for better wellbeing
• Practical resources to build resilience when we are starting to struggle

Speakers

• Beyond Blue Ambassador, Trace Dann will explore the lived experience of mental health issues and recovery.
• Community Links will share what to expect from support services available in our community when we need support.
• A panel of local health professionals and advocates will chat about different approaches to managing our mental well-being and then discuss what we can do as a community to continue these important conversations.
