👉 Come Together for a Night That Matters 💛

The Rural Adversity Mental Health Program - RAMHP, Australian Red Cross, and the Clovass McKees Hill Hall Committee have come together to host a free community screening of Just a Farmer — a powerful Australian film that explores the realities of rural life, including grief, su***de, resilience, and the importance of community connection.

Through honest storytelling, the film opens conversations around mental health and reminds us that behind every farmer is a family, and behind every loss is a community.

Following the screening, stay for supper and a chance to connect — to have a yarn, share stories, and continue the conversation in a safe and supportive space.

📅 Friday 19 June | 5:30pm – 8:30pm
📍 Clovass McKees Hill Soldiers Memorial Hall
🔥 Free BBQ from 5:30pm
🎬 Screening at 6pm
☕ Supper provided afterwards

Support available on the night from RAMHP, Red Cross, Local Land Services and the Rural Financial Counselling Service.

Today is World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day.

We honour the Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers and staff who show up every day for people in crisis. They are not separate from the communities they serve, they are part of them.

Beyond every emergency, every response and every emblem, there is one truth: We are united in humanity.
