A free mental health training workshop will be held in Kingaroy on June 20, part of series being organised by Darling Downs Health in a bid to better equip rural communities facing ongoing pressures associated with the drought.
The workshops are open to farmers, community members and agricultural industry representatives who want to learn more about mental health and increase their ability to help others in times of need.
“The workshops are about helping people to help each other,” workshop organiser Richard Henshaw said.
“People can walk away with the skills of identifying when someone is experiencing mental health issues, and knowing how to best assist them.”
The workshop will be presented by the National Centre for Farmer Health, and funded by Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN and Darling Downs Health.
Others in the series are being held at Goondiwindi (June 17), Warwick (June 18) and Millmerran (June 19).
