Dear Members,
We have received a fantastic response to this Fridays FREE Yoga and Meditation Class. Tickets sales close this Wednesday, so be sure to book your ticket so you don't miss out!
Week 2 - Social Wellbeing
In the second week, we are focusing on the importance of maintaining social and community connections to your overall wellbeing. We are hosting a FREE BBQ on Friday 13 September at Eastern Beach Reserve between 4.00pm and 6.00pm to give our members the opportunity to catch up over a few old-fashioned games and enjoy some food together. This event is also open to non GLA members who can reserve a ticket. We are encouraging GLA members to bring along team members who might not be a GLA member to get the whole office involved in Health and Wellbeing Month. This will be an alcohol-free event.
To book a FREE ticket, please click the link "Event Details" at the bottom of the page to reserve your ticket to ensure we have enough catering for you and your guests. There is an option to specify any dietary requirements.
We thank Foley's List for generously sponsoring GLA's wellbeing month.
More information about Social Wellbeing
Australians generally, and lawyers specifically, are spending more and more time at work. Because we spend so much of our time working, the workplace is an important starting place to create a sense of social wellbeing. Taking part in events in the broader legal community in Geelong also helps us to stay socially and professionally connected, and supports social wellness.
Being socially and emotionally well means being able to realise your abilities, cope with normal stresses in life, work productively and contribute to your community.
Social connections enhance wellness and a great place to start is at work:
The Victorian Government’s better health page also has lots of useful health-related resources, including this interesting article about the importance of relationships for strong health:
