There was such a lovely vibe at the Carersโ€™ Morning Tea last Friday at Yaye's Cafe โ˜•โœจ

Around 25 carers joined us to share breakfast and coffee, connect with others, and take a well-deserved moment for themselves. The morning included a hands-on clay activity facilitated by Central Craft, where everyone created their own unique pieces, along with wellbeing bags to take home. It was a beautiful morning of connection, creativity, and community ๐Ÿ’›

Hosted by MHACA in collaboration with Carers NT, Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia NT, and the Alice Springs Hospital Carer Peer Support Representative, the morning tea was a chance to acknowledge the work and resilience of people caring for others.
