The workshop will explore what a full and purposeful adult life can look like, including learning, work, hobbies, places to live, and the people we enjoy spending time with. The session will focus on starting early, exploring different pathways, and understanding what support may be available.

The Care Matters team will also create space for whānau to think about their own future as parenting roles change over time.

Featuring facilitators with lived experience, this workshop promises to be a practical, positive conversation about planning ahead and creating good lives.

Light finger food will be provided.

The workshop will be held in Palmerston North. You will receive venue details after you register.
