Finding Your Way - Bundaberg
Bridges Health & Community Care | Bundaberg Central
Bundaberg Central QLD, Australia
Description
When children or young people with complex mental health are facing tough times, families often need to work with numerous systems: mental health, health, education and disability.
This workshop is designed to help you better understand these systems and the different types of support available from various professionals and services, in particular, within mental health and school settings.
You will have the chance to explore common challenges when trying to get help and learn useful tools and strategies. We will cover how to work effectively with professionals, how to share your family's story, and how to speak up for your young person... and encourage them to speak up for themselves!

Testimonials
I highly recommend it!
At a time when I was starting to lose hope and felt particularly isolated, the workshop environment was inclusive, supportive and leaders & other attendees share advice and compassionate understanding
Interactive unlike others I've attended.
I was very impressed with the workshop as it was interactive unlike others I've attended. Please include me in any more coming up. Much appreciate the insights and connection you gave and made for us.
FAQs
- HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS WORKSHOP IS RIGHT FOR MY FAMILY?
If supporting your child or young person feels complex because you're struggling to find the right help, navigate services or understand what support is available, this workshop is likely for you.
Families attending may be navigating experiences such as:
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Autism
• ADHD
• Eating disorders
• School refusal
• Early psychosis
• Or other mental health challenges.
- WHAT IF I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SPEAKING IN FRONT OF A GROUP?
That's completely okay.
We know attending something new can feel daunting. You're welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable throughout the workshop. Many people arrive feeling nervous, and there is no expectation to have all the answers or share more than you're ready to.
Here's what you can expect:
✔ A warm, welcoming and supportive environment
✔ Facilitated by parents and carers with lived experience
✔ Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable
✔ Everyone participates respectfully, recognising every family's journey is different
✔ No clinical assessments, diagnoses or formal interventions
✔ Practical strategies, helpful resources and genuine connection with other families
- I ALSO WORK IN HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION OR COMMUNITY SERVICES. CAN I ATTEND?
Absolutely. We recognise that many parents, carers and family members wear multiple hats in life and also work in healthcare, education, disability or community services.
Resilience in Reach workshops are designed as peer-led spaces, so we simply ask that attendees join us in their lived experience role as a parent, carer, family member or kin, and leave their professional hat at the door for the day.
If you are looking to attend primarily for professional development or training purposes, please contact our team to discuss the most appropriate opportunities for your needs:

- WHO FACILITATES THE WORKSHOPS?
Our workshops are facilitated by parents and carers with lived experience of supporting a child or young person with complex mental health. They understand the challenges because they have walked similar paths themselves.
