UNPAID carers from Bendigo and Shepparton will have the chance to unwind and connect with their peers at a free half-day retreat organised by Carers Victoria.<\/p>\n

To be held at Juli-Anna Inn in Napier Street on Tuesday 29 October, the retreat is designed to provide a flexible program of relaxing and stress reducing activities to promote personal wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Activities will include meditation, journaling, plus food and beverages (at no cost).<\/p>\n

Carers Victoria senior manager – carer services Moreen Pakwan said the event has the singular motivation of allowing attendees to “take a break”.<\/p>\n

“Carers spend 24-7 taking care of their loved ones,” she said. “They may be caring for someone that is aged, or for someone that has a mental illness or a disability.”<\/p>\n

“They often can’t go out and have time to themselves, or even for those who may be able to, given the financial crisis, it’s really difficult to afford.”<\/p>\n

“Events like this are important because if people don’t put the oxygen mask on themselves, it’s difficult to put the oxygen mask on someone else.”<\/p>\n

Ms Pakwan said the sense of connection between carers that can be established at the retreat is also extremely valuable.<\/p>\n

“It’s somebody else in the room that understands what they’re going through, and they can share experiences without any sort of judgement,” she said.<\/p>\n

The Bendigo Carer Day Retreat takes place at Juli-Anna Inn on 29 October from 10am to 2pm.<\/p>\n
