From 5 to 11 September 2022, we are celebrating Women's Health Week by hosting free events to help support the wellbeing of women in Boroondara. Many of the events also have free activities to keep the kids occupied so you can take that time for yourself.
While developing the Boroondara Community Plan 2021-31, we found out that mental health and social connection were priority areas for our community. However, many women have admitted that over the past few years with COVID-19 lockdowns and additional caring responsibilities, it has been more challenging to make their health a priority.
We encourage all Boroondara women to mark Women's Health Week by taking time for yourselves and putting yourself first.
This might include:
- booking in and attending your regular health checks and screenings
- getting active and connecting socially
- prioritising your mental health and wellbeing.
Women's Health Week runs every year and is led by Jean Hailes Women's health.
