Three Mental and Physical Health Empowerment Days were held. Dirranbandi was held on the 9th of May 2014, St George on the 30th of May 2014 and Mungindi was held on the 13th of June 2014. 172 people attended the 3 days. We had 20 speakers who empowered, encouraged, informed and inspired the participants. Subjects covered were mental health, breast care, community supports, work and life balances, chronic disease, holistic supports and chemist supports. We identified, through engaging with the community, the needs of the community and sourced someone to speak in these areas. These days pulled together Government, Private, Community and Not for Profit organisations through speakers, presenters and stall holders. The morning tea and lunch breaks created time to network and to peruse the stalls and take part in some of the relaxation and health promotion stands. Our speakers, presenters, stands and gift bags with information inserted covered resources such as.
