four days of program activities

information and assistance with travel arrangements before the program

A little information helps us prepare for you.
YOUR WELLBEING MATTERS
Well Beyond Service is a non-clinical, trauma-informed program designed to complement, not replace, existing healthcare.
Before attending, participants are asked to provide current information about:
-
Their health
-
Medications they are taking
-
Any injuries or accessibility requirements
-
Dietary requirements
This helps Amy and the Well Beyond Service team prepare for each person and provide a safe and welcoming environment.
Participants should continue to seek medical advice and treatment from their usual healthcare providers.
