Grit & Resilience Program

Regional communities like ours embrace diversity and the Grit and Resilience program is working with our community to further improve the social connection and inclusion of our community.  We are working with people from all ages and backgrounds, including people with lived experience, Aboriginal people and those from LGBTIQ+, disability and culturally diverse communities to improve the mental health and wellbeing of all.

With the support of the Victorian Government’s Social Inclusion Action Group (SIAG) funding, this program is a flagship initiative recommended by the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System.  The Grit and Resilience Program will continue to evolve with an enhanced focus on social inclusion initiatives building on the programs’ work to date in strengthening connectedness and inclusion in our community.

The program runs workshops and events throughout the year to strengthen connections and inclusion in our community, and we would love to connect with you at our events. The Grit and Resilience Program is working with community to establish more social groups that will help people to connect and feel more included in the community.  If you would like to be part of a social group or have any suggestions for new social groups, please get in touch with the Grit and Resilience Program team.
