A cultural leadership program will follow late 2011 - early 2012.

Karadi is working to hard to develop new programs that may not provided by anyone else, specifically for the Aboriginal community.

2011/2012 will see some great new programs through Karadi including a Women's Leadership Course, Fresh Start, Girls group, luna kani (Aboriginal women talking) every second Wednesday at 10:30am, Harmonize and Energize (Workshops around mental health and wellbeing), Grieving Support Group for parents and families who have a lost a child (inc stillbirth and feotal death) and some fantastic health based activities for families.

Supporting each other (Grieving support) has started and runs every second Thursday evening at 6pm. This group is facilitated by Lyndy Bowden.

Fresh Start weight management support group runs in 6 week BOOT CAMP blocks and will begin again later in 2011. Come along and get some support in your weight loss journey.

luna kani is a group for Aboriginal mums to come together every second Wednesday at Karadi to share advice, participate in workshops and information sessions and give valued feedback into Karadi programs. Some information sessions this year will include Infant Depression, Feotal Alcohol Syndrome, BreastScreen, Suicide Prevention, Budgeting, Healthy low cost family meals and much more. (This group is open to Aboriginal women and parents or carers of Aboriginal children)

Karadi are hoping to build a Cultural Arts and Crafts workshop on the lower half of Rothesay Circle in the next 18 months. This will allow us to run workshops and classes in preparation of our annual NAIDOC art exhibition.

Several Healing Retreats will be held throughout the year this year. These retreats will run in conjunction with Ruth Langford.

Lorraine is running the HACC day centre on Tuesdays and AHACC on Thursdays 10am - 2pm. This program is for the frail, aged and disabled. We provide a hot lunch once a week with activities, as well as regular outings.

Please call Lorraine if you are interested in attending.

Girls Group will be run two days a week this term. The seperate days will cater for two different age groups. Secondary and primary school girls will each have a scheduled day for activities and groups will meet at the end of each month for a mentoring session.

Karadi is in the process of becoming an RTO (Registered Training Organisation) and will also be offering some accredited training courses in the coming months.

For Karadi to continue to provide services the community need, we would love to know what the communities needs are.  Come and let us know what you need by joining in with “moaning” tea, community lunch or by just coming and having a cuppa and a chat.

Hope to see you soon

Cheers
