It is so important to our lives that our postcode is linked to life expectancy. Kids in Australia could be the first generation in history to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. “If you move to an area that has a much lower life expectancy, you will take on the risk and the life expectancy of that new area very quickly.” VicHealth CEO Dr Sandro Demaio , globally-renowned public health expert and advocate. By adopting trauma-informed placemaking techniques, salutogenic design principles and wellbeing-led practice, Village Well's new health and wellbeing training course, and Place Pulse Health Audit, can help residents to live happier live and improve physical and mental health. Find out more in our latest blog by Emma Hall and introductory webinar.     Upcoming speaking & events   Special event - on the couch with Michael Shuman Village Well is proud to again host Michael Shuman, one of the world’s leaders in the re-localisation and local finance movement, during his 2023 Australian tour. Gilbert Rochecouste will facilitate an 'on the couch' session with Michael discussing healthy economy building, community capital growth, regenerative collaboration and placemaking.  10 May @4.30pm AEST.
