🎄💛 Holidays Can Be Stressful for Families Too! 💛🎄

The festive season is full of excitement, but for families supporting a loved one with disability, it can also bring extra planning, sensory challenges, and disruptions to routine.

Remember:
✨ Take breaks when you need them
✨ Adjust expectations, perfection isn’t the goal
✨ Reach out for support, your community is here for you

This season, focus on connection, joy, and the little moments that matter most. 🌟

Here are some resources, and online or telephone counselling if you need to access it.

On Tuesday, December 9 IOE hosted a morning tea to celebrate the commitment from the Freemasons Foundation Victoria for the approval of 3 years of ongoing funding in partnership with our friends at Monash Gully District Lodges.

We are proud to support siblings the way we do, but we are also proud of and grateful for the ongoing relationship that we have with the Freemasons Monash Gully District and also Freemasons Foundation Victoria. Thank you for seeing the importance of supporting siblings and all the hard work that you all put in behind the scenes to raise the incredible amount of funds that you do each year.

Kindness and compassion goes a long way.
