Caring for someone can often mean putting your own needs aside for long periods of time. Living Well Sessions have been created to offer carers supporting someone experiencing mental health challenges a chance to step away from the everyday pressures of caring and reconnect with themselves, others, and the community around them. Across June, we’ll be offering a range of relaxed, small-group wellbeing days designed to feel welcoming, calming, and easy to engage with. These sessions focus on simple moments of connection, reflection, creativity, movement, and rest - without pressure or expectation.

Before attending, we’ll arrange a short wellbeing conversation to help find the session that best suits you and support a safe, welcoming experience for everyone. The Living Well Sessions will take place in locations across the greater Brisbane area. Each session offers a gentle space to pause, reconnect, and take some time for yourself.
