The Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch will hold a free health and wellbeing forum at the Noosa Golf Course on Sunday 28 August from 9am to 4pm.
The event is aimed at benefitting local veterans and emergency services personnel, where presenters will be discussing ways to increase health and wellbeing in different areas.
The speakers will be looking at financial wellbeing, diet, psychological health, recovery science, and techniques to treat insomnia and yoga.
Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch president Michael Masters said the wellbeing of veterans and first responders was a priority to the sub branch.
“This health and wellbeing forum will focus on positive, uplifting ways of enhancing veterans’ health – physically, emotionally and even financially,“ he said.
Special guest, chef Matt Golinski will be giving a healthy cooking demonstration sourcing local, in season produce.
Deborah Campbell from Back on Track Counselling & Psychotherapy said she would be discussing new research and therapy methods.
“I’ve been doing this work for over 30 years and the world of neuroscience is changing,“ Deborah said.
“We know so much more about the neuroplasticity of the brain and it’s very exciting.
“You’re never too old and it’s never too late to look at improving not just your wellbeing but your lifestyle as a whole.
“I’m going to be sharing with the audience, when is a good time to reach out, ways of connecting with different therapists and other sources of support.
“I want the participants on the day to be able to seek out and find the best matches for them in terms of improving their mental and overall wellbeing.“
