Reflecting and looking forward
Last week, the Flat Out held a 2-day retreat where Board members and workers started the process of developing our next strategic plan.
Flat Out at Renegade Footy
We raised money for Flat Out running the community BBQ at the Renegade Football game day on Saturday 24 June. Thanks to the volunteers and all the folk who braved the wild weather and came along!
Perpetrators
By Rachael Hambleton, Flat Out board member
Death is awkward. Categorical. For the last two years my dad’s ashes have sat on my windowsill, in a small vile adorned with a sage coloured tassel that I pulled off a candle. I could endure bereavement; it was everything else that became unmanageable. I naively wanted to stuff my grief into some small internal crevice, accessing it at appropriately allocated times for processing, slowly decompressing until I’d skipped right past trauma and reached the illustrious post-traumatic growth.
