Rural Wellbeing Toolkit

wellbeing-cover

You are an important part of a community. There are many ways to help others - and giving of your time and skills is one of the most rewarding ways to give back.   

Whether you are volunteering with a local organisation, or you personally want to help out someone you know in the community, these resources help you consider the best strategies for doing so. In particular, these resources will help you learn how to recognise when people need help, connect people to resources needed, and give ideas for how you can provide support

  • RECOGNISE - Listen, understand, and identify what a person is needing 
  • CONNECT - Assist people in finding qualified and appropriate support
  • SUPPORT - Provide ongoing support as a friend and community peer
