To mark International Women's Day, the Huon Women’s Health Collective is proud to once again host a dedicated day of connection, learning and celebration for local women/womxn and girls.

Thanks to renewed funding from the Tasmanian Government, this FREE full-day workshop honours the vital role rural women play as caregivers, leaders, advocates and the heart of our communities. 

Together, we will recognise and name the unique strengths of rural women while offering meaningful opportunities for learning practices for nervous system support, time for sharing and reflection and expand upon the networks of connection.

Taking a strengths-based approach to mental health, the day focuses on what is already working in our community by identifying and celebrating the ways women are connected, capable and resilient and building on these foundations to further enhance wellbeing.


:: What to Expect ::

Across the day, participants will learn about the female nervous system and explore accessible, evidence-informed techniques for:

~ Self-Regulation ~ Self-Care ~ Co-Regulation ~ Community Care

Participants will experience practices in a professionally facilitated, safe and supportive group setting with space to reflect, express, share and connect.

The International Women’s Day - Rural Women’s Mental Health Workshop builds on the Collective’s previous community offerings, bringing together local practitioners in:

- Holistic Psychotherapy &amp; Counselling

- Breathwork &amp; Embodiment

- Social Work &amp; Youth Work

- Sharing Circle Facilitation


:: What You’ll Gain ::

Those attending will leave the day feeling:

~ Connected and grounded

~ Supported and empowered

~ Equipped with practical, proven tools to support your own mental and emotional wellbeing

~ Confident to share simple, effective techniques with friends, family and the wider community

Attendees will walk away resourced with skills they can immediately apply in everyday life, strengthening not only their own nervous systems, but also those they care for and lead.


:: Building Community Across Generations ::

Rural Women’s Mental Health Day creates a welcoming space for all those who identify as women and is for folks of all ages and backgrounds to come together. It offers a rare opportunity to:

~ Build connections across generations and demographics

~ Meet local service providers who offer traditional and complimentary therapies

~ Explore different therapeutic modalities

~ Witness and participate in communal wellbeing practices

Together, we celebrate our shared strengths, deepen our connections, learn new ways and strengthen the resources that already exist within our community.

Join us for a day of learning, nourishment and connection as we honour the resilience, leadership and heart of rural women.
