COVID Impact update on ACN operations
We all need to exercise the utmost caution in how we are interacting with others in our community. Accordingly, many of our face to face programs remain suspended for now. We have however brought back a number of carer support groups which meet in clubs and follow strict rules enforced by the clubs based on government regulations. We have also brought back a few kids groups under revised conditions and will continue to monitor and assess the situation regularly.
We are also running social clubs for youths via Zoom, see below for details.
For a full list of all active ACN programs please click on the Support Groups button above.
