Exploring Community Mental Health Needs Open Forum

Exploring Community Mental Health Needs – Community Forum

Wednesday May 7th | 🕠 5:30–7:00pm | 📍 CWA Hall, Dungog

Hosted by Xavier King & Matthew Coxhill – Counsellors & Mental Health Advocates

This is a free, community-led event to help shape the future of mental health and wellbeing services in our Shire.

Mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Whether you're someone who has personally experienced challenges, a loved one supporting others, or a professional working in our region — your voice matters.

We're creating a safe, respectful space where we can listen, learn, and understand:

What’s working?

What’s missing?

What would actually help?

Your feedback will directly inform:
✔️ A free monthly therapeutic support group
✔️ Future workshops and resources tailored to our local needs
✔️ Professional services that actually reflect the lived experiences in our community

Who should come?

People who have experienced mental health struggles

Family, friends or carers of people navigating mental health challenges

Youth, parents, community elders

Local professionals in education, health, welfare or support services

If you care about the mental wellbeing of our region — this space is for you.

This is not a promotional event or a lecture — it’s a community conversation. Come as you are.

Let’s grow services with the community, not just for it.
