Thank you @tanyaplibersek for your governments acknowledgment of the all too often overworked and undervalued jobs anyone could have - providing care, comfort and assistance to our should be treasured, but more often forgotten, older Australians.

I’ve been connecting teenagers with our older people through the Seniors & Teens Empathy Program since 2017. In this time,

Having designed and run the Seniors & Teens Empathy Program since 2017 partnering teenagers ( Youth Off The Streets , International Grammar School, Raise Foundation with residents in aged care ( Bupa Opal Healthcare) and now partnering with Sutherland Shire Council and Aged Care Education Health & Education, I'm thrilled to see the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) @abcaustralia hosting the important conversation around the next step in expanding intergenerational programs?

Muhammad Ali transcended boxing and sport. He grew into a leadership figure of such wide ranging impact.

Technology enabling community to be brought back together even when the likes of Influenza & Covid tries its hardest to keep us apart.

What a buzz to have had social psychologist best selling author and national treasure Hugh Mackay write about the Seniors & Teens Empathy Program in his latest book “The Kindness Revolution”. He wrote in particular about the writing of letters that happened during COVID lockdowns whilst we scrambled to get the virtual program happening to beam students in from home and their schools.

Some people enter your orbit for a while and everyone around is better for having known them. I think I’d be speaking on behalf of all the staff and residents of Annandale Grove when I say that we are already missing Princess greatly !

Very excited to announce we will be collaborating with Sutherland Shire Council to work on programs & initiatives to increase intergenerational connection in their community.

Reflection & recognition with our wider community of family and friends is an important part of The Seniors & Teens Empathy Program

The mornings are getting cold, but they definitely make you feel like you are alive. The water is still warm and whilst the waves have been way too dumpy for my liking lately, just being out there reminds me that life is short and to be grateful for every new day that comes my way. Was so nice to get out last week with my eldest son Hugo - even though he just takes off for the big waves now, just to see the sunrise and paddle out with him is a memory I will always treasure.

With only a few weeks left of the school term almost that time again where we ask our students and residents to reflect on the time they’ve spent together as a mark of reciprocal respect and acknowledgment of friendships across ages.

Thanks Owen, Casper, Martin and Maddie for sharing a laugh together this week.

I feel late Saturday evening so many of us let out a collective sigh of relief.

One of the best things about the stories shared in intergenerational programs in aged care is the amount that the residents who now share a home together get to learn about each others lives. It’s also really important for staff working with the residents to learn more about their lives.

Thanks Sabrina for your words of wisdom when reflecting on why you want to be involved in the Seniors & Teens Empathy Program this term. You have articulated my absolute core motivation for not just facilitating intergenerational injection , but acting as a champion to drive more of it across our country in every school and aged care. We are so lucky and grateful to have you as a student buddy for our Term 2 program.

“Everything and everyone has a story. The more stories we share,the more we learn. The more we learn, the more we grow. The more we grow, the closer we are to achieving wellbeing - individually and universally. “

“Thank you for sharing all your wonderful stories, of cat cafes in the beautiful cards. I love to talking about horses with you, and hearing about all the adventures you had, walking into a vet and being more extra better than I could ever be. I wish that we could’ve met in person so that I could show more pictures of my horses in so that we could bond over ride like a girl. I’m an introverted person I don’t like talking a lot, so it was amazing to listen to your stories! To make up for lost opportunities, here are some pictures. You really inspired me to step out of my silent comfort zone! “
