COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our community. As a result of stay-at-home orders, social isolation, loneliness, and mental health issues are on ascend.
The United Nations Association of Australia NSW (UNAA NSW), with the support of Multicultural NSW, is organizing UNAA (NSW) Reconnection Picnic at the Prince Alfred Park, Surry Hills, NSW on April 10, 2022.
The event aims to restore ties to the community and address COVID-related issues of members of the community by bringing them face-to-face with trusted health professionals.
The picnic will provide a free lunch in a public park to stimulate community connection and socialization, encouraging people to reclaim their sense of belonging, thereby assisting the local community in strengthening resilience in the face of the extended lockdown restrictions during COVID-19.
The event will feature Reverend Bill Crews (from Exodus Foundation), Dr. Sonu M. M. Bhaskar, and A/Prof Holly Seale (from UNSW Sydney).
