Manna Institute Town Hall Meeting

Local health service Momentum Mental Health is partnering with the Manna Institute to host a forum that will bring together community members — including those with lived and living experience of mental health — First Nations representatives, and service providers from across the Darling Downs.

This is a valuable opportunity to identify key mental health issues, strengthen partnerships, and explore meaningful, place-based responses.

This Town Hall event is a cornerstone of Manna’s approach — a powerful opportunity to directly engage with researchers and discuss practical solutions to the mental health challenges faced in our local communities.

According to event organiser Professor Tracy Kolbe-Alexander from UniSQ, the Manna Town Hall will play a pivotal role in linking statistics with place-based needs and priorities. It will give residents a voice and an opportunity to not only direct future research, but also ensure that research translates into practical, on-the-ground outcomes.
