"Wellbeing is not just the absence of disease or illness. It’s a complex combination of a person's physical, mental, emotional and social health factors. Wellbeing is strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction. In short, wellbeing could be described as how you feel about yourself and your life."
What's On In The Community
headspace Knox Groups
Paws for Thought
Paws 4 Thought is back on Thursdays! Animal Assisted Therapy is a great tool for engaging young people and it also makes them feel calm and happy. So on Thursdays young people can come socialize with each other and chat informally about what they may be on their minds with some supporting headspace humans. See flyer for more information.

Our Co-run rainbow groups are almost completely full! If you are LGBTIQIA+ or questioning and need a safe space to explore identity, sexuality and gender contact Jasmine Scampton or Luis Castanon to join one of our groups…
