Generating fun, energy and joy as a family with teenage children
Bayside Glen Eira Kingston Local Learning & Employment Network (BGKLLEN) would like to welcome family and friends to this private webinar with Dale Sidebottom. This one-hour session is designed for families to participate and have fun together. During uncertain and testing times, it is very easy to become overwhelmed, stressed and anxious by everything out of our control. And so much has been out of our control, not just from the virus itself, but most aspects of our lives have been impacted – from work, finance, socialising, and mental and physical health. But what if we can shift our focus to what we can control in our day? Join Dale as he shares simple and practical ideas to support our mental health and wellbeing as we adapt to this new reality. Dale has several brand-new ideas that he has created and tested this year to help bring more joy, fun and laughter into our lives even in these unprecedented times
