Community health and wellbeing activities
Mallacoota District Health Neighborhood House plays a pivotal role in enhancing the social and economic development of the community. Guided by foundational principles of inclusive participation, community empowerment, lifelong learning, and active citizenship, it serves as a hub for connection, education, and collaboration.
MDHSS Planned Activity Groups (PAG) show that exercise not only changes your body but also your mind, your attitude, and your mood. It promotes resilience and confidence, helping one to approach life’s challenges with a fresh perspective. More importantly, engaging in physical activity often creates opportunities for social connection. These are vital to well-being, offering emotional support, boosting motivation, and creating a sense of belonging. Join us.
