Just for Carers…

Please find attached a flyer for our FREE 24/7 LOVE Carers group starting Friday 7^th Oct, in Port Kembla.  This is a collaboration between Relationships Australia’s Ability Groupwork Program and the Sydney Botanic Gardens Community Greening Program.

Each session includes:

• A little plant that we’ll learn how to propagate herbal teas from – (a different plant / tea each session, which carers can take home and continue to work with).

• Fun and gentle self-care and self-compassion-mindfulness activities, top tips ‘n tricks for making time for oneself, & connection with other carers.

• A delicious and healthy lunch.

The sessions are 2 weeks apart – which might make it easier for people to think about commuting if they live in Sydney town or further a-field?

Together we can make a difference and send a message of hope to those who are struggling.

Following the walk, we will host a short ceremony to remember those who have been lost to suicide, and share stories of hope. We will have a Lifeline Wellbeing Tent with Ambassadors available, as well as a light breakfast.
