1 — UPCOMING GATHERINGS
A community page for learning, connecting, and finding support.
Our Community page is where you’ll find upcoming opportunities to learn, connect, and access expert mental health support — including free wellbeing check-ins, carer circles, and small-group talks designed for older adults, their partners, and adult children.
Whether you’re noticing changes in mood after retirement, worried about a parent’s memory, grieving a loss, or feeling more isolated than you used to, our gatherings offer practical guidance in a warm, unhurried setting.
Check back regularly for new opportunities to take part in free wellbeing check-ins, carer circles, and community pop-ups across Melbourne.
2 — WHAT WE OFFER
Three ways to learn, connect, and feel supported.
What’s coming up.
Free wellbeing check-ins, carer circles, and community pop-ups for older adults and their families.
Free Wellbeing Check-Ins
A brief, confidential conversation with one of our clinicians can help you understand whether what you’re feeling is a normal part of ageing — or something that would benefit from a little extra support.
Best for: low mood, worry, memory concerns, grief, isolation
i. toddlers & preschoolers
Carer Circles & Educational Talks
Learn practical, evidence-based ways to care for an ageing loved one — without losing yourself in the process.
Topics: cognitive change, late-life depression, grief, carer burnout
ii. first words, phrases, comprehension
Community Pop-Ups & Neighbourhood Events
We partner with local libraries, neighbourhood houses, and senior citizens’ clubs for drop-in conversations about mental health, memory, and meaning in later life.
A gentle way to ask questions without committing to therapy
iii. R, S, L & broader sound development
Persistent Low Mood or Anxiety
Check-ins are well-suited for older adults experiencing persistent low mood or loss of interest, worry, restlessness, or trouble sleeping.
Focus: depression, anxiety, sleep, restlessness
iv. engagement, play, social language
Memory, Grief & Adjustment
Support for concerns about memory, focus, or confusion; grief after the loss of a partner or friend; and adjustment to retirement, chronic illness, or reduced mobility.
