Mental health roadshow in Warrnambool next month
LEADING psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg will be in Warrnambool next month as part of the 2025 Youth Mental Health Roadshow.
Dr Carr-Gregg will visit six regional locations across south west Victoria and the Wimmera.
His sessions will deliver expert advice and practical strategies to support young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
The roadshow includes two free sessions at each location; one tailored for educators and another for parents and carers of primary and secondary school-aged young people.
Dr Carr-Gregg’s engaging presentations will focus on building resilience, supporting student wellbeing, and navigating the challenges facing young people today.
A Brophy spokesperson said the value of education for youth mental health was of utmost importance.
“Now more than ever, young people need the support of informed, connected adults in their lives,” she said.
“These sessions are about empowering communities with evidence-based strategies that make a real difference.
“Dr. Carr-Gregg’s sessions are known for being engaging, relatable, and full of advice that can be implemented immediately to support young people’s mental health.”
Whether you’re concerned about your child’s wellbeing or simply want to stay informed, this is an invaluable opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s most respected voices in youth mental health.
“We’re encouraging parents, carers and educators across the region to register and take advantage of this free event,” the spokesperson said.
The roadshow is proudly supported by Brophy Family & Youth Services, School Focused Youth Service (SFYS), and the Department of Education and Training Victoria.
The Warrnambool sessions will be held on Sunday, May 5 at The Lighthouse Theatre in Timor Street.
The sessions will be held from 4.30pm-5.30pm (educator information session) and 7pm-8pm (parents/carers).
