Though necessary to keep us safe, the current COVID-19 restrictions are having a significant impact on the mental health of many vulnerable members in our community. In our network of over 4000 older people living in Georges River, Liverpool, Inner West, Canterbury Bankstown, and more, we know that stress levels are high, and many feel lonely and isolated. That is why SHARE is stepping up our free Community Care Services to help in any way we can.
If you would like to register yourself or a friend or family member for any of our Community Support Services at no cost – please give us a call on 8580 0628 or email us at info@share.org.au. We are here to help.
