Wimmera people have an opportunity to hear from one of Australia's leading rural mental health specialists at St Arnaud on Sunday, October 6.
Known as 'The Unbreakable Farmer', Warren Davies describes himself as a husband, father of five, son, brother, mate and a 'normal bloke down the road'.
His keynote discussion topics focus on resilience, persistence, determination, leadership and wellbeing.
Mr Davies will speak at St Arnaud Sporting Club from 2pm, which coincides with the annual St Arnaud Agricultural Show.
Mr Davies' presentation is free and includes afternoon tea. Northern Grampians Shire Council has organised the event with support from St Arnaud's Thrive 50-plus Hub and funded by Western Victoria Primary Health Network.
Council chief executive Brent McAlister encouraged people to make the most of the opportunity to learn from Mr Davies, whose message is relevant to people of all ages and backgrounds.
"Warren has a wonderful ability to engage with people from all walks of life. Whether you're from the country or the city, a small-business owner or leading a large corporation, Warren's down-to-earth approach means his stories and strategies can benefit all of us," he said.
"He will share his own life experiences, including how he pieced his life back together to lessons he learnt along the way. Warren is driven by the mantra of 'resilience, persistence, determination' and anyone who attends on Sunday will be treated to an authentic and thought-provoking presentation."
