Event to support healthy relationships in Bass Coast

Local women are invited to take part in an evening of connection, learning and conversation.

The collaboration between Gippsland Women's Health (GWH) and PICAL (Phillip Island Community & Learning Centre), presents "Women's Wellbeing Conversations: Healthy Women, Healthy Relationships" in Cowes on Wednesday April 22.

Held at PICAL, 16 Warley Avenue, from 5.15pm to 8pm, the free community event is part of a Gippsland-wide program aimed at strengthening women's mental, physical and social wellbeing.

The initiative is supported through the Victorian Government's Women's Health and Wellbeing Program.

GWH is partnering with PICAL, GCASA (Gippsland Centre Against Sexual Assault) and Anglicare to deliver an engaging panel and discussion session focused on building healthy, safe and respectful relationships.

Attendees will hear from expert speakers from GCASA and Anglicare on topics including, setting personal boundaries, recognising unhealthy behaviours, supporting friends and family, and challenging gender stereotypes.

The event will also invite participants to share their experiences and insights about what supports women in Bass Coast to maintain healthy relationships and the barriers that still exist and will include a free light supper.

These conversations will help shape future programs across the region.
Gippsland Women's Health encourage women and gender diverse people of all ages to attend, including local health professionals and community leaders.

"This is a valuable opportunity for women to connect, learn from experts, and help guide what's needed locally to support healthier relationships and stronger wellbeing," organisers said.

Women's Wellbeing Conversations: Healthy Women, Healthy Relationships: Wednesday April 22, 5.15pm-8pm at PICAL, 16 Warley Avenue, Cowes.
