Men As Carer's
The gatherings are held twice per year for men who are in the caring role and are facilitated by husband and wife team Glen Ochre & Ed McKinley, two experienced professionals, and are sometimes supported by Carer Support Workers from across the Grampians Region (including Central Highlands and Wimmera) and a worker from Grampians Community Health.
The men spend a full day together (9am to 5pm), followed by dinner at night (approx 7pm), and an overnight stay. The next day begins at 9am, ending at 1pm with a barbecue lunch together.
The gatherings provide an opportunity for men to share stories and experiences, offer each other support and wisdom, and have a fun relaxing time and companionship.
A small contribution from the carers may be required.
