The fifth of six workshops planned for 2024 to build community resilience to drought.

The online workshop will be hosted at five locations across the South West (see below) and will involve a review of past local experiences and projects to address community resilience and the impacts of drought.

GUEST SPEAKERS: Glen Dunkerton (The Regional Men's Health Initiative) and Roger Hitchcock (Rural Aid)

Presentations will aim to explore the range of available health and wellbeing services in rural and regional areas.

Followed by:

- Group discussion will identify actions to build community resilience to drought or other impacts.

- Building resilient communities ahead of a predicted increase in drought events.

- Sharing ideas between groups.

The workshop will be held at Community Resource Centres (CRCs) in: Boyup Brook, Bridgetown, Donnybrook, Brunswick Junction and Manjimup. Attendance at these locations is preferred, but if not possible, a meeting link will be sent.

It is the fifth in a planned series of six workshops for 2024, designed to create a Community Resilience Network - One of five "Surviving the Dry" projects in the South West.

This project is supported by FRRR, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund. More information here.
