Not-for-profit support group IMPACT Community Services has launched a program in Kingaroy to help people living with mental health challenges to feel less isolated.
Participants enjoy regular bike rides, nature walks and other social activities on the region’s trails.
Last week, the bike group rode 30km along the South Burnett Rail Trail to Wooroolin, stopping for lunch along the way.
IMPACT Peer Support Worker Luke Arnold said the group was building but he would love to see more people take part.
“Everyone has a lot of fun,” he said.
Luke said activities were tailored to meet group needs.
“We have bikes available, if a participant needs one, and we only ever go as fast and far as people are comfortable,” he said.
Luke invited anyone who lives in the South Burnett – aged over 16 – who is interested in finding out more about the Commonwealth Psychosocial Support Program to get more information online or phone 1800-179-233.
Self-referrals are welcome.
