Event description

Come & Join Us at our Community Morning Tea!

As a community, we have all felt the physical and/or emotional impact of the floods of 2022. We are all at different stages on our recovery journey, which can feel isolating at times. Gathering as a community, in an atmosphere of joy and shared food, can be a great break from what is happening in our every day lives.

So we invite you to reconnect to your community and yourself as you come along to these Community Morning Teas where we share in light refreshments and creative activities such as art, tai chi and other events. We hope these mornings will be a moment to share in laughter and connection as we rebuild our community together, stronger than it was.

This is a complimentary event with no costs involved, but please register for catering purposes.

This community gathering will be held for 8 weeks, so invite your neighbours and come along!

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity

Healing and Resilience Australia Inc. (HARA) walks with individuals and communities through the aftermath of disaster.

HARA was founded in response to the Northern NSW floods in 2022, our aim is to support those who had lost so much.

Our team live in Northern NSW and have lived through the experience of the floods, and previously bushfires. We realised the magnitude of these disasters early on and have been engaging with the community to develop services to support people in their recovery. As mental health workers we are, naturally, concerned for the wellbeing of those affected.

After the initial priorities of food, water and accommodation, mental health is so often forgotten in a disaster aftermath. However, without a healthy mind, we as humans discover quickly that life can become extremely difficult.

Feeling safe, discovering meaning and finding peace again, is a vital part of recovery.

As a team, we have years of collective experience walking alongside those who have been traumatised or negatively affected by life's events.

When we connected after the floods, forming HARA seemed the natural next step. We knew that together we can do more - be more effective and empower more people - as we take the step to meet people where they are.
