Cherbourg residents gathered together on Wednesday after a tough year in the community to pause, yarn and “heal”.<\/p>\n

The “Community Healing Event” event at the Cherbourg Sports Centre – part of Mental Health Week activities – was organised by the community’s radio station, Cherbourg Radio, in conjunction with APM NDIS.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg residents endured the toughest COVID-19 restrictions of any community in the South Burnett earlier this year, with special passes required to enter the town and restrictions on who could leave.<\/p>\n

On top of this, there has been too much sorry business … including young deaths that have hurt too many families.<\/p>\n

The aim of the day was to encourage local residents to get together to support each other, relax and enjoy some free entertainment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was face painting for the children, kids’ activities plus\u00a0performances by the Wakka Wakka dancers, Murgon State High School\u2019s \u201cMob Choir\u201d and Muddy Flats.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg Radio broadcast live from the event and invited guests on air to share positive thoughts as well as moving stories of loss and grief.<\/p>\n

Local resident Bronwyn Murray had a simple message for listeners … every day should be RUOK day.<\/p>\n

“When you wake up in the morning, asking RU OK, just saying ‘good morning’ makes a helluva difference! It makes your family know they are wanted and acknowledged,” she said.<\/p>\n
