8 Week Mindfulness Closed Group Program | Port Macquarie

This 8-week mindfulness group program is a series of structured 3-hour sessions led by Fortem’s Clinical Psychologist, Toni Kernick.

The sessions involve guided mindfulness exercises, discussions, and cognitive exercises aimed at recognising and challenging negative thinking patterns. Participants are encouraged to practice mindfulness techniques outside of group sessions as well.

The aim of this 8-week program is to enhance self-awareness, promote well-being, and develop more adaptive ways of responding to challenging thoughts and emotions.

This free wellbeing activity is for first responder families (check out who we serve here). Register yourself, and up to one other adult (your partner, family member, or someone from your inner circle). Encourage a first responder colleague to register too, or make connections on the day.

All Fortem Wellbeing Activities are underpinned by the 5 Ways to Wellbeing — a set of practical lifestyle habits which contribute to our overall mental fitness. This model by our partners at The Royal Melbourne Hospital is based on widely researched, effective strategies for improving mental health and wellbeing, and forms the foundation of all Fortem Australia events, programs, and activities.
