Community members across Golden Plains can turn their ‘Pain to Power’ while being encouraged to ‘Be Kind to Your Mind’ during this Women’s Health Week.
Golden Plains Shire Council will host two free events next week in honour of the nationwide initiative from September 1 to 5, dedicated to the health and wellbeing of women, girls and gender-diverse people.
Mayor Owen Sharkey said the events were a great way to recognise Women’s Health Week and encourage people to celebrate the special women and gender-diverse people in their lives.
“These events are all about saying yes to you and putting your health first, so bring your mum, daughter, sister, neighbour, best friend, grandmother, or any special women in your life,” he said.
“This year’s theme for Women’s Health Week is ‘say yes to you’ and council is proud to host these events which focus on a different health topic to help women prioritise their own health and wellbeing.”
The first event, titled Pain to Power, will be held at the Golden Plains Civic Centre from 10am to noon on Thursday, September 4, featuring speakers from Women’s Health Grampians, Golden Plains Medical Centre and Golden Plains Shire Council.
The Be Kind to Your Mind event will then be held at the Bannockburn Cultural Centre from 4pm to 6pm on Friday, September 5, offering women and girls aged five and over an intergenerational art workshop.
