Spreading the word about Strength for Life through Forget Me Knot Connection
It was delightful to be invited to St Francis of Assisi Church and meet the ‘Forget me Knot Connection’ Community who enjoyed a double presentation about Strength for Life and Falls Prevention. It is wonderful that this church community has created a dementia friendly and inclusive space and plans to set up a cognitively inclusive Strength for Life group in this friendly and supportive setting.
Many thanks to Andrea McDougal, Parish Priest and Annette Viska, Mission Support Worker as well as to Jacquie Evans SFL instructor for her excellent presentation about falls prevention and management .

These existing Strength for Life Instructors enjoyed a day together in August sharing their knowledge and networking.
Strength for Life Instructors are passionate about supporting their participants to live better, longer.
Welcome to the Cambodian Association; our newest Strength for Life group!

Special thanks to Mak Sun from Malex Care, Lakhina Eung, from the Cambodian Association, and Jacqui Nelson, Strength for Life instructor, for enabling this great program to happen!
Strength for Life at Chinese Welfare Services of SA

A visit to the Vietnamese Catholic Community at Pooraka
It was wonderful to be invited to present Strength for Life to senior members of the Vietnamese Catholic Community at Pooraka. There was a strong interest in the Strength for Life Program, with heightened awareness thanks to the testimonial of a community leader, Tin, who was also an enthusiastic Strength for Life participant! Tin kindly interpreted for the group and gave a first-hand perspective of his experience of the program and the benefits he has noted.
We thank the community for their hospitality and look forward to collaboration in the future!
