Event description

Self Care & Wellbeing Retreat:

For full-time unpaid carers.

As caregivers, it's easy to prioritize the needs of others over our own, but neglecting self-care can lead to burnout and diminished well-being. At our retreat, we emphasize the importance of self-care and wellbeing as foundational elements of effective caregiving. By taking time to nurture ourselves physically, emotionally, and mentally, we not only replenish our own reserves but also enhance our ability to provide quality care to those we support. Join us to explore strategies for self-care, from mindfulness practices to stress reduction techniques, and discover how prioritizing your well-being can positively impact both you and those you care for.

Morning Tea is included in the retreat.

You can register for both the morning and the afternoon sessions, remember to bring your own lunch, unless you wouod like to drive locally to purchase lunch.

This project is mande possible through the generous support of Geelong Connected Communities.

Tickets for good, not greed Humanitix dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity
