Unfinished Business: A Culinary Comeback
Judith Tabron, a trailblazing restaurateur whose renowned eatery Soul was bought out at the peak of its success, will share her journey of rediscovery and resilience. After stepping away from the culinary world, she has made a triumphant return with her new venture, ‘First Mates, Last Laugh.’ Judith’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and the undying pursuit of unfinished business, offering inspiration to anyone looking to reignite their dreams and redefine success.
Revolutionizing Mental Health in Hospitality: The Barstool Brothers Initiative
Join Daniel Chin from the Raising the Bar Foundation as he unveils his groundbreaking initiative to transform mental health perceptions within the hospitality industry. Through the inspiring story of The Barstool Brothers, a men’s mental health support group in Wollongong, discover how they are expanding their reach to provide vital mental health training for hospitality workers.
This innovative course equips staff with the tools to manage their own mental health and teaches them to recognize warning signs in their customers. Starting with 300 participants in Wollongong, the program is now being rolled out statewide and eventually nationwide. Addressing the unique challenges posed by the intrinsic link between alcohol and mental health, this initiative fills a crucial gap in the market, empowering hospitality workers, and paving the way for a more supportive industry.
