Rise's Mental Health Team held a morning tea for clients on Wednesday, 14 October at Riverside Park. This was anopportunity for clients to "Drop in & Connect" and share a cuppa, chat, meet new people and even make new friends! Some clients hardly ever go out, so it was heartwarming to connect our community and see lots of smiling faces!
We found out that one of our clients, Colleen Wilson, is an avid poet and has recently won an award for a poetry piece through the Lorikeet Centre. Colleen wrote this poem about the morning:
Morning tea
Enjoyed by
More than three
New faces met
How good it gets
In a nature space
My favourite place
Comfort I feel
My day did start
On the right wheel
The feedback was overwhelming for more events to help CONNECT so watch this space :)
