Take Time Out - Friendship, fun and support for carers
Do you care for a parent, spouse, child, sibling, friend or neighbour who, because of frailty or mental, physical or intellectual disability, cannot manage everyday living without your help or support?
The Heretaunga Women's Centre is offering this new group service and would greatly appreciate your help.
Come and join us for the first of our meetups created to provide an uplifting, supportive and nurturing group. A time for YOU to kick back, enjoy the company of new friends and enjoy feeling relaxed and cared for. Help us by sharing what you would like to learn or enjoy. Help us make this group exactly what you want.
This first meetup is completely free and includes complimentary morning tea.
Over the coming months, the wonderful team at Heretaunga Women's Centre would like to share with you a range of holistic approaches to wellbeing including relaxation techniques, creating foods for instant energy, aromatherapy, hand massage and many other simple but effective ways to support yourself.
This event has been created to provide an understanding, non-judgemental, caring and confidential environment in which carers can make friends share their concerns, acknowledgements, challenges and frustrations.
As this is a daytime meeting so it's for women only at this venue. We're busy securing other venues so all you lovely men caring for loved ones can join the fun soon.
