Quest for Life Announces FREE Workshops in New England Communities to Support Wellbeing

by | Aug 14, 2025 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

The Quest for Life Foundation is hosting free, empowering, and practical one-day workshops for people in the New England area who are living with the challenges of rural and regional life. These Your Life Matters workshops will take place:

  • Tuesday, 26 August 2025, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM at the Inverell RSM Club Motel, Inverell.
  • Wednesday, 27 August 2025, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM at the The Henry Parkes Motel, Tenterfield.
  • Thursday, 28 August 2025, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM at the Armidale Ex Services Memorial Club, Armidale.

Designed to support individuals who may be facing financial, mental or emotional depletion, this workshop offers an opportunity to learn valuable strategies and skills for building resilience and living well in difficult circumstances. Participants will discover how to strengthen their well-being with practical tools they can incorporate into daily life.

“This workshop provides a much-needed opportunity for people in rural and regional communities to take time out and focus on their mental and emotional health,” said Petrea King, CEO and Founder of the Quest for Life Foundation. “We will be sharing proven techniques to help manage stress, build resilience, and promote self-care in everyday life.”

The workshop will be facilitated by an expert in the wellbeing field, Quest for Life Facilitator Kate Szymanski. Quest Partnerships Manager, Candice Piper, will also be on hand to answer any questions and connect with other organisations attending on the day.  

WHAT PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN

  • Effective strategies for building resilience in challenging circumstances.
  • How to prioritise self-care and incorporate it into daily routines.
  • Simple relaxation techniques for everyday life.
  • Ways to manage emotions and recognise signs of burnout.

Feedback from previous workshops has been resoundingly positive, with participants describing the sessions as “empowering,” “well-presented,” and “clear, simple, and easy to understand.”

A light lunch and refreshments will be served during the day. There will also be the opportunity to visit the Women’s Resilience Centre pop-up to browse pre-loved clothing and learn about their support services for women.
