What the Program Focuses On

What you’ll learn

A free half-day, evidence based workshop with simple skills for everyday steadiness — designed for real life in regional communities and beyond.

Bounce Back Faster

Feel more Joy & Connection

Strengthen positive moments. Lift mood, energy & everyday wellbeing.

Be a Better Mate to Yourself

Quiet the inner critic and build a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself.

Giving Back

Your Ticket Helps Raise Awareness

Across Australia, a lot of people are doing it tough with their well-being — often quietly. Here’s why raising money and awareness matters.

Men’s Mental Health

A quiet crisis hiding in plain sight.

  • 3 in 4 suicides are men.
  • Suicide is the leading cause of death for men aged 15–44.
  • Many cope by overworking, alcohol, numbing, or withdrawal instead of reaching out.
  • In regional areas, male suicide rates are significantly higher than in capital cities.

Women’s Mental Health

Different pressures — equally real struggles.

  • 1 in 5 women experience high psychological distress each year.
  • Higher rates of anxiety and depression than men.
  • Burnout is common for mums, carers, and frontline workers.
  • Many support everyone else first — and only seek help when they’re at breaking point.

Different stories, same truth: people are hurting, often without the tools or support they need. Early stress skills, safe conversations, and community connection can change the story.
