Wellness Chats at Laidley Library

Libraries are wonderful locations to foster connection and inclusivity, which is why Lockyer Valley Libraries has just launched a new initiative, Wellness Chats.

Designed to foster the importance of mental health and wellbeing, Wellness Chats are designed for those who might be experiencing loneliness, in need of a chat and someone to talk to or are willing to lend an ear to someone else.

Lockyer Valley Community Services Portfolio Councillor Michael Hagan said everyone was welcome and encouraged to attend.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to participate in meaningful conversations and simply connect with others.

“Social isolation can have serious impacts on the health of our residents, but it is avoidable. Having a chat can brighten your day.

“Come along and simply listen or connect with someone else and chat about anything and everything.

“You can also gather practical tips and discuss strategies for maintaining your mental and physical wellbeing.

“We hope to see you there for a cuppa and a chat,” Cr Hagan said.

Mike Nowlan, Beyond Blue Ambassador and experienced social worker Phoebe Luiz will also be in attendance to support the group.
