Health and Wellbeing Program for Women

Working with expert partners including Sister4Sister, WIRE and Northern Community Legal Centre, Merri-bek Libraries will host a Health and Wellbeing Program for Women at the Glenroy Library, which is located in a culturally diverse community with high levels of disadvantage.

The project plays to the strength of the hub concept: amplifying the library’s ability to support women who are experiencing family violence and mental health issues to seek assistance, develop personal skills and form social connections.
