Title

Sisters Day Out
Subtitle Well-being workshops
Abstract

The Sisters Day Out program is a series of workshops built around a general theme that reinforces Koori women's sense of identity and the importance of their various roles within the family and community.

Hairdressing, massages, manicures and other forms of pampering help establish a tone of supportive informality and unite women across the generations.

While the emphasis is on enjoyment, each workshop also includes a presentation and general discussion about family violence issues. Women are able to consult lawyers and counsellors during the day to help them exercise their right to feel safe and secure.
