The Wellbeing Series

What is it to be a well being? The events of COVID-19 have shone a spotlight on protecting and maintaining our health, and made us aware of the importance of social connectedness, family, lifestyle and community. The eight-episode Wellbeing Series investigates and celebrates the essential ingredients for living well. 

The series has been developed by the free, healthy lifestyle program My health for life on behalf of Health and Wellbeing Queensland.
