Join us for a very special "Parents Pause". Limited spaces available.

We will be joined by Dr Chloe Watfern from the Black Dog Institute and the Parents for Climate Townsville & Surrounds group. Chloe will share some supportive exercises with us to support mental and emotional wellbeing from the excellent workbook Creative Acts for Climate Feelings.

“Creative Acts for Climate Feelings” is a free art activity booklet designed for primary school-aged children, their parents or guardians, and educators. It offers a creative approach to exploring climate-related emotions through art and play.

This is an opportunity to slow down for 90 minutes, take time in to reflect, connect with other parents and explore ways to support wellbeing for ourselves and our families.

NB: To enable this session to be interactive, we are limiting numbers to the session. Please only RSVP if you can actually attend the session, otherwise someone may miss out on a place.

Times around the continent: 12pm AEST; 11:30am SA & NT; 10am AWST

The government’s own National Climate Risk Assessment confirms what parents across Australia already know: climate change is putting our kids and communities in danger.

As parents, we don’t take chances with our kids safety - whether it’s buckling a seatbelt, fitting a car seat, or being sun smart, we act on the best advice. We expect our government to do the same. That means shaping climate policy with science, not politics, and committing to net zero by 2035 with strong pollution cuts this decade. Anything less puts our kids' future at risk.
