Quest for Life announces FREE workshops in NRs communities to support wellbeing

Since the 2022 floods, many people have struggled with mental health, financial pain and poor general wellbeing.


If that is you or someone you know, the Quest for Life Foundation is hosting free, empowering, and practical one-day workshops for people in the Northern Rivers area who are living with the challenges of rural and regional life. These 'Your Life Matters' workshops will take place in Lismore, Mullumbimby and Grafton.



Designed to support individuals who may be facing financial, mental or emotional depletion, this workshop offers an opportunity to learn valuable strategies and skills for building resilience and living well in difficult circumstances. Participants will discover how to strengthen their well-being with practical tools they can incorporate into daily life.


“This workshop provides a much-needed opportunity for people in rural and regional communities to take time out and focus on their mental and emotional health,” said Petrea King, CEO and Founder of the Quest for Life Foundation.


“We will be sharing proven techniques to help manage stress, build resilience, and promote self-care in everyday life.”


The workshop will be facilitated by an expert in the wellbeing field, Quest for Life Facilitator Kate Szymanski. Quest Partnerships Manager, Candice Piper, will also be on hand to answer any questions and connect with other organisations attending on the day.

  • Tuesday, 12 August 2025, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM at the Mullumbimby Golf Club, Mullumbimby.

  • Ways to manage emotions and recognise signs of burnout.



A light lunch and refreshments will be served during the day. There will also be the opportunity to visit the Women's Resilience Centre pop-up to browse pre-loved clothing and learn about their support services for women.
