Astrid Kuenne President of BPW Caboolture president@bpwcaboolture.com.au Guest Speaker - Roxanie Lebsanft Exceptional Keynote Speaker | Engaging Facilitator & Lecturer | Co-founder Bare Hands | Strategic Resilience Psychotherapist specialising in Sustainable Relationship Communication ! Hi, I'm Roxy and my purpose and passion is to empower women, especially mothers with young families, to build personal resilience and sustainable relationships. Do you see the same epidemic that we do? Women feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and isolated? Increasing numbers of children suffering with anxiety and depression? Families separating because they can’t find a way forward? After a lifetime of research and over a decade in clinical practice as a health care practitioner and psychotherapist, I was compelled, along with my business partner, Laurie Morrison, to provide access to practical early intervention and solution focused mental health strategies under the banner of Bare Hands | Practical life strategies for women. Change is coming and not too soon! The World Health Organisation* confirms that depression is already the leading cause of disability worldwide and that 1 or 2 mothers out of 10 are affected. The unfortunate truth is that mothers affected by depression are less able to model resilient living and good coping strategies and their children are more likely to experience anxiety and depression, continuing the cycle. The good news is that women with essential skills in communication and conflict resolution as well as emotional self regulation have the potential to turn the tide on the mental health issues affecting our society and we’re keen to help by providing access to resources which spread connection, compassion and balance throughout our communities.
