Women in eight regions in New South Wales will have access to practical wellbeing and self-care training with the launch of free Women\u2019s Wellbeing Workshops ahead of NSW Women\u2019s Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NSW Government is supporting regional and rural women\u2019s mental health with this partnership with Rural Adversity Mental Health Program (RAMHP), especially in areas where access to such care can be harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The workshops will discuss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Funding of $10,000 for this program is through the Rural Women\u2019s Network, which works to support and empower regional, rural and remote women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something regional women rarely get the chance to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minister for Women Jodie Harrison said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRegional and rural women play many different roles in their communities \u2013 as business-owners, farmers, carers and volunteers. Like many women, they are often selfless and put others ahead of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut sometimes, the stresses can be overwhelming. These one-day workshops are a great way for women to stop and learn how to prioritise self-care so they and their families can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is part of our wider work to support women\u2019s health and wellbeing, empower them, and boost their participation in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI encourage regional women in these eight towns to register quickly for these workshops, as places will fill up fast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kate Arndell, Service Manager for RAMHP said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “RAMHP is thrilled to be working with Rural Women\u2019s Network NSW\u202fto create welcoming workshops where women feel heard, supported and reminded that their wellbeing truly matters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese workshops are a chance for women to step away from the busy-ness of daily life, spend time with other women who understand rural pressures, and focus on their own wellbeing in a relaxed and supportive space.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Women in eight regions in New South Wales will have access to practical wellbeing and self-care training with the launch of free Women\u2019s Wellbeing Workshops ahead of NSW Women\u2019s Week.
