It is a great pleasure to be involved with the The Banksia Project, as the South Western Sydney Growth Room Facilitator.
The Banksia Project is a men’s mental wellness initiative combining awareness building with constructive action.
This is achieved through:
- Empowering Community and peer support
- Enhancing social connection and learning through the sharing of experiences and
- Promotion and adoption of positive, evidence-based lifestyle and mental health practices
The Growth Rooms are male only community support groups lead by trained facilitators discussing a range of topics from stress management, mental illness to wellness practices. All groups will have a Mental Health professional referral network and clinical supervision from partner institutions.
The Growth Rooms is a pilot and is intended to run for 6 months where the group can meet regularly (once per month) for approx. 2 hours.
Attendance is Free.
