Are you the loved one of an ADF member? You are invited to join us online for a decluttering workshop
Who is this free activity for and why?
Has your loved one ever served in the ADF? Are you connected to defence service in any way? Whether you’re the partner of a current or former serving ADF member, a veteran spouse, parent, adult child or a widow of a veteran, we warmly invite all war widows, defence and veteran families to join us for a Decluttering Workshop online on Thursday 12 June 2025, brought to you by our Wellbeing Program.
Families of veterans and war widows make unique sacrifices during and after service. They balance the many demands of supporting a family, navigating grief and loss, relocations or adjustments, deployments or other absence from home, transition out of service or caring roles due to illness or injury.
Social connection, peer support and self-care are at the core of our wellbeing activities. We acknowledge that veteran families may face barriers in developing and maintaining peer connections due to the unique nature of defence life, increasing their risk of social isolation and loneliness. The purpose of this activity is to encourage the families of veterans to focus on self-care and expand their social network by connecting with like-minded peers.
Decluttering workshop
War widows, defence and veteran families are invited to come together for our decluttering workshop. Facilitated by professional organiser, Susanne Thiebe from LessMess, this 70min workshop families will cover the ABC of decluttering, organising and sustainable living.
There is no cost for this event. Your Decluttering Workshop will be covered by Families of Veterans Guild.
Previous attendees to Wellbeing activities said “The workshop was a wonderful experience, both uplifting and educational. I truly appreciated the chance to focus on self-care while learning something new. Thank you for putting this together for veteran families.”
