SUMMARY:Advance Care Planning Free Forum - Mansfield Vic
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free community Advance Care Planning Forum as part of the national Dying to Know Day campaign\, a meaningful opportunity to open up honest\, empowering conversations around death\, dying\, and end-of-life planning. We are pleased to welcome a panel of local experts including: \nRose Sexton – Registered Nurse and End-of-Life Doula at Northeast Health \nJane Morris – President of Dying with Dignity Victoria \nKatie Lockey – Principal Solicitor at Mel\, Ryan & Glen \nDr Shane Richards – General Practitioner at Central General Practice \nWhile Dr Andrew Wettenhall is unable to attend in person\, he is generously supporting the forum remotely and welcomes community members to submit questions in advance\, which he will respond to prior to the event. \nInvitations have also been extended to Benalla Palliative Care and the Office of the Public Advocate (OPA). The Good 2 Go Collective will be there with a range of valuable information and resources\, alongside materials from Natural Grace Holistic Funerals. \nThis will be a safe and welcoming space to ask any and all questions about death\, dying\, and what comes after. From understanding the difference between a Will and an Advance Care Plan\, to exploring Voluntary Assisted Dying\, local support services\, and even the differences between shrouds\, caskets\, and coffins — we’ll cover the three respectful methods of body disposition available in Australia and give you the chance to explore what’s possible when planning ahead with intention and care. \nAfternoon tea will be provided\, and all attendees will have the opportunity to connect with professionals\, ask questions freely\, and leave feeling more informed\, confident\, and supported.

SUMMARY:Cancelled - Compassionate Connector Training - March 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Compassionate Connector Program is a unique program that connects volunteers – Connectors – with people in the community who are over 65 living with life changing illness. As a connector you will emotionally support and help build social networks with your person\, as well as family and friends around them. This is a little different to traditional volunteering\, as an essential part of your support is to find additional supports in the persons community. This can be connecting with a neighbour\, helping connect with formal services\, or arranging for help in the persons existing network with everyday tasks like getting to appointments etc.   \nBecause of the unique character of this volunteering program\, in order to become a Connector\, the first step is to participate in our very enjoyable quality training before we match you with a participant. This training is complimentary and helps prepare you for the Connector experience. Importantly\, it also allows you to meet others like-minded and is the start of the ongoing support Proveda offers throughout your Connector experience.   \n  \nWhen: Thursday 5th March (10.30AM – 5.30PM) \nWhere:  Hornsby Library \n  \nWhat previous participants say  \n“Thoroughly enjoyed the day. The trainer was wonderful. She held the room well\, provided a safe and nurturing environment giving everyone a voice to share.”  – Simon \n“The content was very relevant. The pace was good. And the environment was respectful and supported.”  – Daniela  \n“Loved the way the facilitator could allow discussion to flow even if it meant changing the schedule.”  – Helen

There is no pressure to join the Program. \nWhen: Wednesday February 18th 2026\, 10.30AM – Noon \nWhere: Hornsby Library \nWhen we are socially connected\, we are happier\, physically healthier and live longer.
