WellBEING Programs
The WellBEING series focuses on you, family, primary support people/carers and the community bringing the best of our evidence-based practices into a new activities and groups to maximise choice, independence and wellbeing.
WellBEING: Family
With a range of sessions and activities that include family coaching, information sessions in simple language for kids, couples coaching and relationship (family and friend) coaching to support and educate those affected by Parkinson’s and the impact it can have on relationship dynamics.
WellBEING: Carers
Carers don’t often take good enough care of themselves so pamper days will be held to ensure that carers and primary support people can focus on their physical and mental health.
WellBEING: Me
Learning different mindfulness activities on a monthly basis and how to practice them in everyday life. There will also be take-home tools to assist with practicing the techniques.
