Fill Your Silo: Navigating The Tough Season - Parndana
Whether you’re working on the land, in town, or behind the scenes, rural life can bring unique pressures, and it can also bring incredible strength. These free community events are a chance to pause, connect, and walk away with practical tools to support your mental health and wellbeing.
Hosted in partnership with Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation and local services.
Each session will include:
● A shared lunch or dinner
● Real, honest conversations about mental health and what it looks like in rural communities
● Insight into how stress affects our body and brain
● A down-to-earth workshop with psychologist and farmer Steph Schmidt, exploring the “Fill Your Silo” concept—what drains us, what fills us, and how to look after ourselves in tough seasons
● A take-home wellbeing resource pack
● Conversation and connection with others in your community
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A WOMEN'S ONLY EVENT.
