Today is World Mental Health Day, and it’s something that is near and dear to the mission of CBR Gals.

As someone living with diagnosed mental illnesses, I choose to exist loudly, and not keep the reality I live with under shameful wraps. In doing so, I want other people to feel as though they can exist loudly, too.

To that end, I’ve dusted off the CBR Gals blog to write about what life looks like for me with PTSD, because I’m not ashamed of my diagnoses, but I also know how easy it can be to feel misunderstood when living with them.

The CBR Gals Network is a feminist non-profit focussing on fostering conscious connections and friendships that continue on beyond the event calendar.

We know how daunting it can be to make new friends as adults; our goal is to make that easier. Come with friends or by yourself, you’re welcome either way 🫢

We’re proud of our events calendar!

In 2025, we debuted:

πŸŽ™οΈPodcast Club, our monthly counterpart to Book Club
πŸŒ„ Sunset at Rosa’s, our annual Speed Friending event at the beautiful Rosa’s at The Lawns
🀫 Hush Hour, our more chill counterpart to our Happy Hours

In 2026 we debuted:
🍴Gal Dinner, our monthly dining club
πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Trivia-With-Us, a quarterly trivia event held in collaboration with WITH-ME and Highroad | Canberra Cafe & Restaurant

What do we have on the horizon for 2027? 😌

🩡🩷🀍

When we say feminism, we mean it. We are an inclusive community and welcome all our trans and gender-diverse friends to our events.

There’s no room in our Network for TERFs, transphobes or bigotry at all.
