16.01.2022 "Support, kindness, encouragement, respect, trust..." It is incredible how thoughtful an experience it is to take part in the Warm Safe Home Project, and how thought-provoking seeing the little houses that others have made, such as this one from Alan at COTA. It makes us think about what we value at this most basic level, to feel warm and safe at home, and how vulnerable people feel when these values are denied, neglected or taken. To take part in the Warm Safe Home Project and to see more inspiring houses created by others, visit www.facebook.com/southwesteldersbusepreventionproject or https://elderabuseawarenessday.org.au//Warm-Safe-Home-Proj #WEAAD
