The theme this year is:
‘A New Normal: Are People Okay?’
‘The past 2.5 years have severely impacted daily life with financial, political, and global crises.The goal of this workshop is to validate and normalise emotions in the current environment. In line with R U OK? Messaging, we will explore how to support others who may be experiencing frustration and provide meaningful strategies for self-management.’
