More than 100 women and community members came together during Mental Health Week for a special wellness gathering hosted by The Women’s Society.

The event was delivered with support from the Queensland Mental Health Commission, bringing together local organisations, speakers and community members for a morning focused on wellbeing, connection and open conversations about mental health.

The gathering featured guest speakers, wellness activities and community stalls highlighting services and initiatives that support women’s mental health across the region.

Participants had the opportunity to engage in mindfulness and breathing activities, connect with local support organisations and hear stories that encouraged reflection, resilience and hope.

From yoga and drumming to live music, creative workshops and meaningful conversations, you reminded us all that when we come together, healing happens.

The Women’s Society extends its thanks to the Queensland Mental Health Commission and the many local organisations who contributed to the day. The theme was self, others and nature. Organisations attended such as Townsville Rotary Saints, Townsville Hike and Explore, The Rhythm Collective, The Gypsies Cafe Yoga, Project Herself Glam and Yarn, Naomi National and more.

Together, we continue to work towards creating a community where women feel supported, valued and connected.
