COMMUNITY BASED WELLBEING PROGRAMS

Annette tailors’ community wellbeing program to meet the specific needs of your residents or team. Current areas of focus include understanding stress and anxiety, addressing feelings of isolation, enhancing wellbeing and life balance, improving sleep, increasing awareness of restrictive thinking patterns, managing emotions, and supporting women’s health. Residents often enjoy hands-on, participatory workshops such as Bosai, journaling, and vision-boarding.

 

Some clients opt to create their own mini-series, which allows Annette to foster deeper connections and cultivate a greater sense of empowerment. Programs can be customized to suit your local needs or schedule—for example, a series of 3–6 workshops selected from these samples or on topics you feel are most relevant to your residents or staff.​

PROGRAMS FOR LIBRARIES AFTER DARK

I am delighted to share with you sample community and wellbeing workshops perfect to meet the goals of Libraries After Dark 2.0 - to foster connection between community members, enhance wellbeing and personal growth, support social engagement and provide a space to increase a sense of belonging.

I had the best time during LAD 1.0 connecting and supporting residents as I presented community and wellbeing programs in many localities across Victoria and saw first-hand how the library branches provided a safe and meaningful space for residents.
