Let’s talk about anxiety in The Hastings – 25 August 2022

November 5, 2022 by Leanne Kelly

We heard from Mark McGrath from Carer Gateway at Port Macquarie as well as our keynote speaker, Dr Rocco Crino, clinical psychologist. Local services also included, headspace, Neami National, Lifeline, Carer Gateway and Carers NSW attended to meet the community.

What attendees said

“Dr Rocco Crino had me captivated the whole time”

“ The best part of the event was listening to personal stories – relevant to understanding impact for individuals”

“It was good hearing about my anxiety disorder and knowing what other coping strategies there are“

“Hearing about local services I never knew existed”
