The Program
Community Wellbeing Evenings provide a multilayered method to breaking down barriers and developing discussion around the issues challenging community members in rural and remote communities. The mental health messaging, inviting dinner, and lighthearted humour all contributes to the success of these evenings. This approach includes the following but has many more points of impact for community members.
