In our fast-paced lives, time seems to rush by, and before we know it, Christmas is just around the corner. As we become increasingly busy, we often overlook the important task of taking care of ourselves.
When we extend support to someone going through tough times, we tend to prioritise their needs over our own. However, this approach can be detrimental to both parties, especially if we are struggling ourselves. To provide effective support, it's essential for us to be in a good state of mental and emotional wellbeing.
To achieve this, it's important to first recognise our limitations and acknowledge when we are not feeling our best. Secondly, we must be willing to say "No" or provide only partial support if that's all we can manage. Lastly, knowing how to replenish our energy and take care of our mental wellbeing is crucial to being able to offer support to others.
The Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre and CORES Queensland have been collaborating since the start of the year to offer free workshops to the community focusing on “Self-Care and Mental Wellbeing”, and “Suicide Intervention Training”. These workshops aim to provide attendees with the skills and information to create a self-care and mental wellbeing plan, as well as to recognise and support individuals who may be at risk of suicide.
BNC and CORES are offering the following courses:
• Self-Care and Mental Wellbeing Monday 19/08/24 17:30 to 19:30
• Suicide Intervention Training Friday 23/08/24 09:00 to 16:00
• Self-Care and Mental Wellbeing Thursday 12/09/24 10:00 to 12:00

• Self-Care and Mental Wellbeing Tuesday 12/11/24 10:00 to 12:00
• Self-Care and Mental Wellbeing Thursday 12/11/24 17:30 to 19:30
All Self-Care workshops will be held at the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre, 40 Chippendale Street, Ayr, and the Suicide Intervention Training will be held at PCYC, 164 MacMillan Street, Ayr. For further information, please phone CORES on 0448 894 525 or email adminqld@kentishrc.com.au.
