Our Approach
Big life transitions are isolating and take a long time to heal. While support is often one-on-one, expensive and short term.
Wellbeing Walks offers peer-led programs and ongoing activities for people going through divorce and separation, and other big life transitions. It helps people connect over what matters, provide a community that will walk the whole journey with you, and build the personal resources to thrive in your next chapter.
What to Expect
The walks occur in nature reserves around Canberra. They draw together evidence based activities to strengthen well being.
We start with the depression and anxiety busting trifecta of exercise, nature and community.
We add a psychological toolkit that offers prompts to take your conversations to a deeper place.
The toolkit aims to build skills that will see you come out the other side stronger, wiser and more resilient than ever before.
Each 90 minute walk follows a basic structure.
30 mins walking & exercises to find your calm
10 min chat about a psychological tool
25 mins walking & talking in pairs about what you are facing & reflecting on the tool (you can choose to walk alone)
25 min group discussion and reflection (no pressure to talk if you prefer to just listen)
Upcoming walks (Pilots Starting Soon!)
Introductory Walks
Introductory walks give you an easy risk free way to come along and try a walk, and see if it is for you.
Walk Programs
We also run closed groups, where you are asked to commit to a 10 week program, to enable people to build deep and trusting relationships within the group. These programs systematically introduce the Toolkit to build your psychological skills.

Ongoing Weekly Walks
Big transitions often take a couple of years to make your way through. We aim to offer ongoing walks as continuing support. In these walks we keep refining the skills in the Toolkit and we explore a wider range of locations for walks.
Stories
Lindy
You need to talk for so much longer than friends and family want to listen. It makes a huge difference to have people to talk to that are going through it too.
Ash
You can be told the psychological skills, but what really helps is having something weekly that helps put them into practice. Otherwise it becomes a case of “take my advice, I am not using it”.
Eddie
In the midst of the chaos, just getting out and moving your body through nature. Its so calming. It becomes your sanctuary in the storm.
Belinda
You make such deep friendships supporting each other through hard times. Its a bond like nothing else.
