Flower workshop helps Tasmanian seniors bloom with connection

Flower Workshop Combats Isolation in Tasmania

A flower arrangement workshop has helped tackle isolation among seniors in regional Tasmania.

Twenty seniors from West Tamar attended the free session in Launceston, creating bouquets that were later gifted to patients at the Beaconsfield District Health Service.

Social connection can be just as important as medical treatment when it comes to wellbeing.

Nicole Grose from St Lukes noted that her organization's health navigation services have revealed the importance of social connection in conversations with clients.

The workshop was part of Seniors Week, highlighting the growing recognition of social connection's role in wellbeing.
