Social Inclusion Week

Have you ever been somewhere and you got the impression that people were talking about you in the corner ... that perhaps there was something going on that you weren't being told about?

Exclusion of any sort can be difficult, but it is particularly difficult if you have been excluded because of your race, your social status, your culture or religion, your health or something else that you feel that you have little or no control over.

This week is Social Inclusion Week and the theme is Collaborate, Connect and Celebrate.

Social Inclusion Week is about encouraging communities to reconnect and to be inclusive. This year there is a special focus on mental health and engaging older Australians.

This week take the opportunity to establish new relationships, build on your existing relationships and do your bit to address isolation and exclusion by supporting people who may be unable to help themselves.
