A vibrant group of early risers attended a breakfast sausage sizzle on Tuesday morning, each person enjoying good company, conversations and connection.
The BBQ Breakfast, held at Shirtfront Solutions in Cannonvale, was orchestrated in collaboration with Real Mates Talk and Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network.
Guys from across the community came together to show support for each other, connect and raise awareness of the importance of regular mental health check-ins with each other.
Popular community crusader, Barb Hill from Drug ARM Mackay was one of the main drivers of the breakfast and she said that it is events such as these that really make a difference.
“It’s about connection, resources and chatting,” she said.
“We collaborate with Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network and together we can help more people.
“We have both been in the region doing our own thing but together we can reach more people.”
A similar event is held once a month in Bowen and Barb is looking forward to the next BBQ Breakfast at Shirtfront Solutions on November 15.
