Operation Connect & Reflect

Have you registered to attend our Operation connect and reflect’ program? This is a four week program where we will explore various art modalities, meditation and mindfulness, and reflect on how these strategies can be used as part of a self-care routine. There will be the opportunity to connect with fellow Defence partners in a relaxed and friendly environment. No artistic experience necessary!

Light refreshments will be provided. Covid-19 safe practices will be in place.

Last chance to RSVP: Coffee & Conversation

ADF families are invited to join us at the beautiful Heritage Tea Rooms at Hervey Range to indulge in some of their fabulous food while relaxing in the tranquil garden. Come along and chat over a cuppa and cake. We visit a different venue each month as we explore the local café culture.

Linda from the Transitions team will be joining us and will be able to answer any questions about the transition process and support for families leaving Defence.

To allow time to travel, we will meet at Reading Cinemas, Cannon Park at 10.00am. If you have a spare seat or 2 in your car and would be happy to carpool, please add details on the Eventbrite registration page.

This is a self-funded activity. Attendees are responsible for the cost of purchasing their own food and drinks. Children are welcome.
