Support for family violence survivors

Rachael contacted us to share information about “Nature Connect” at the Collingwood Children's farm.  It is a program for survivors of family violence to enable them to meet up and support each other in nature.

Women can attend the farm (with young children or not) to meet other women. The group meets on Wednesdays from 10am-12pm.  Attendees have the choice of focussing on social time or undertaking volunteer tasks around the farm. This group is not facilitated as such but there are peer volunteers who are present. In addition the farm staff greet the group each week.

You can find out more about the program here.

 Thank you Rachel for sharing. We hope if anyone needs this support they find this helpful.
