Louisa started off the week in Stanthorpe with Kath from Happy Chat and the wonderful Selena for trauma-informed peer support training.

They also chatted about community food initiatives that Happy Chat, Stanthorpe Training Centre, and Food Support at Granite Belt Neighbourhood Centre do together - using locally produced ‘excess’ organic fruit & veggies to host meal gatherings and pickling workshops! Such fantastic ways to get together over food and conversation that nourishes both gut health and mental health!

If you’re in or around Stanthorpe, have mental health concerns and want to connect with others over a cuppa, check out Happy Chat: https://supportgroups.org.au/groups/happy-chat/

Wonderful workshop "the soundtrack of your mind" today, funded by Logan City Council . We considered how music has the power to change mood and energy, activate memories and prompt conversation. Thank you Anne and Gail and everyone who helped today. There will be a video! Logan Dementia Alliance

It was wonderful spending last week with a beautiful community of supportive women at the Womens Cancer Support GC, delivering the Accidental Counsellor training to some of their members. We shared wonderful insight and experiences with each other to build our skills around active listening, responding and handling disclosure. Thanks for having us!
