Bushfire Recovery Workshops
Two years on from the devastating bushfires of 2019, locals are still putting the pieces back together. The grass may be greener but for many, the trauma remains near the surface.
A series of free ‘Regrowth’ workshops seek to help regional communities work through the fallout of multiple natural disasters and learn how to prepare emotionally for similar threats.
Featuring a wide range of support services and speakers, morning tea and lunch will be provided. There will be time to socialise, and participants will work on a collective art project on the theme of ‘putting the pieces back together’.
Need a little support with food choices and how to get the balance right in your diet?
