Learning opportunities to help our senior citizens

Elder Family Matters is pleased to offer opportunities for people to explore and learn how we can collectively support our elder citizens.
The audience for these opportunities may include:

• children of elderly people looking for strategies to help their Mum or Dad,
• retired people planning to ensure their wishes are considered before the effects of aging may limit their choices,
• family carers seeking information to help them in their role,
• paid carers seeking to improve their knowledge and skill.
