ABC INTERVIEW - with Jess Naunton & Cathy O'Toole

7 Ways of Wellbeing started with working with the small business community in Townsville talking about how we could keep their staff healthy and productive. Then Mentally Healthy City Townsville (MHCT) moved onto education, students, older persons and the CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) communities. Wellbeing is really important in these communities and particularly the environment that we live in, whether it's our working environment, learning environment,  moving into a retirement village or crossing the seas to come to live in Townsville.

Language is important for mental health and for physical survival.
