Testimonals
Here are some testimonials from our most recent Carer Hangouts.
"I found it very helpful. I met other carers on the zoom sessions and we exchanged information that was helpful."
"I just started attending. It’s good to listen to other carers how they struggled/coped. I don’t feel so alone in my struggle then."
"I need all the help I can get from people with lived experience & to have time out with other carers to break the isolation as I have no family support."

Art Space
Mornings - Every Second Thursday
Evenings - First Thursday of the month
Art is a process of learning to create ourselves and experience the world in new ways. Art opens the heart and mind to possibilities and fuels the imagination. Creating art can take your mind off life’s many stresses. It clears some headspace and allows one to focus on the good in life. Art Space is a creative space for carers to come together, inspire each other, learn new things, and connect through art.
Locations and dates

Evenings - First Thursday of the month 7:00pm - 8:00pm
