Events
Carer's Cafe … plus
Families Supporting Families are excited about the great opportunity now available to provide additional options to our regular Carer's Cafe. Hunter New England Health has given us approval to use our carer’s cafe funds slightly differently for the remainder of the year … now we can add the 'plus' to our cafe's! What a great time to be a Families Supporting Families Member!
This is a fantastic opportunity for members to get to know other members who share similar life situations to you. What a great networking opportunity where you can make new friends and contacts; sharing knowledge and experiences with each other. You will enjoy tea/coffee plus guest speakers, positive guided discussions, hands-on creative workshops, dinners and more!
