Warren Davies, aka The Unbreakable Farmer, will be hosting a series of resilience and wellbeing workshops in the Yarra Ranges over the coming months, to give local business operators the tools they need to become more resilient when faced with significant challenges.
Workshops will be held in Mount Evelyn, Olinda and Yarra Junction and will be free for community members to attend.
Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Sophie Todorov, said that it was a great opportunity for community members to come together and take away some great lessons to implement into their day-to-day lives.
"Our community has unfortunately been through quite a bit over the past few years, following the lockdowns, storm events, power outages, landslides and other adversities such as cost of living," Cr Todorov said.
"While we've seen our community remain strong, these workshops will offer a lot of guidance on how to navigate those tougher times and most of all, how to practise self-care in those more vulnerable moments.
"Warren's own story about how he overcame adversity will not only serve as great inspiration, but also give those in attendance some real tangible ideas and thoughts to take home with them and to implement.
"These events are also always a great chance for community members to connect, have a bite to eat and share their own experiences with one another."
