What is the come as you are social group?  

The Come as You Are social support network is an opportunity for students and staff within the Murdoch community who have lived experiences with disabilities, who are neurodivergent and/or live with chronic illness. The Office of the PVC EDI are hosting a series of monthly morning and afternoon teas designed to build a supportive network of peers who share similar lived experiences.  

In the final week of each month, a morning or afternoon tea will be held at Sir Walter's. Light refreshments, soft speakers, and a small kinaesthetic activity (hands-on/tactile, such as crafts)  to keep the hands busy while we talk and catch up will be provided.  

By rotating between morning and afternoon teas, we hope to provide equal opportunity for those whose energy levels vary throughout the day.  

We look forward to seeing you there.
