At Interchange Illawarra we are proud of our Parent/Carer Health and Wellbeing Program which aims to develop social and support opportunities for parents and carers. We do this through assisting parents and carers to participate in their local community, foster relationships that strengthen informal networks, and provide opportunities to attend free social events with other Interchange Illawarra parents and carers.
Caring for the carer
By organising health and wellbeing activities and workshops we provide opportunities for parents and carers to meet others in a similar circumstance, socialise, learn new skills and enjoy some fun time out that’s all about them.
Our health and wellbeing activities vary from year to year and can include lunches, morning teas, bus trips, Carer Week events and workshops. We’ve even hosted fishing expeditions and winery tours. The activities are run by our Support Coordinators/Planners throughout the year and provide you an opportunity to get to know the Interchange Illawarra staff better too.
Carer Hub
We’ve created a Carer Hub page on our website here.
It includes:
- Upcoming Parent/Carer Health and Wellbeing events.
- External events that might be of interest to parents/carers.
- Links to useful resources.
