Our presentation today is being held on the lands of the Wurundjeri People and I wish to acknowledge them as Traditional Owners.
I would also like to pay my respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may be here today.
Embrace is about a new way of caring for aging populations in a way that encourages diverse generational reconnections while also providing support for those that find themselves separated from family and friends.
It is about bringing people together who will appreciate and mutually benefit from this new way of living. Fully embracing this intentional community, creating a new definition of family.
