So much of our life resolves around relationships, whether it’s relationship with others or with ourselves. When these relationships are challenging, stressful or difficult, it directly impacts on our wellness and happiness.
In this 3 weeks interactive course, David O’Rose and Tina Ng will engage participants to reflect on their own relationships and relationships generally, work through challenges and learn skills to create better relationships with others and with themselves. There will be plenty of opportunities for discussions, questions, sharing and healing.
We will explore the following topics:
22 July: Working through challenges in relationships
29 July: Healing family relationships
5 Aug : Befriending yourself

FOOD VOUCHER DRIVE
In the past our Association had worked closely with the Asylum Seekers’ Centre in Newtown. Some of you might have been aware and also involved in our past initiatives – collecting food items for their Food Bank (which we did twice a year in the past) and making hot meals for them at the centre.
Covid changed all that. Instead of collecting food items and basic necessities for their Food Bank (as the Food Bank is now closed) we are now collecting donations which will be used to buy food vouchers for the asylum seekers.
We are inviting you to help us raise funds to buy the Food Vouchers for them through the Asylum Seeker’s Centre, especially in such challenging times. Let us do our bit to help those much less fortunate than us.Please send your money (no amount too small) to the account details below. Donations will be gratefully accepted until 14 August.
This drive is not restricted to only AEB community. Feel free to pass on to the wider community and let us share the opportunity to help those who are in need.
When transfering your donation, please put on the subject line: Asylum seekers
