Carers who have joined these sessions in the past have walked away feeling inspired, supported, and genuinely enriched by the experience.

Facilitators Fiona and Sara, 2 Masters qualified, professionally registered trauma-informed Arts Therapists, will ensure a safe and welcoming space for carers, with practical takeaways to reinforce well-being at home.

A $50 digital gift card will be emailed to you after the session to assist with travel and babysitting costs.
