Participants from Townsville Walking Alongside with a reflection from facilitator Tania Felstead “It was a big two days and such a rewarding time together. We had a wonderfully diverse group join us, from Rockhampton, Ingham, Charters Towers, Townsville, Mt Isa and Palm Island! It was especially valuable to see experienced counsellors sharing alongside newer counsellors, with everyone showing so much care and interest.”
