Help Pearl Cove SPEAK OUT against abuse

For National Psychology Week, the Pearl Cove Library Service and Coveside Psychology Clinic have partnered to host a Human Living Library event: 'Speak Out Against Abuse.'

What is a Human Library?

Human Living Libraries provide a safe and conversational space where people can discuss topics that may be outside the scope of their everyday lives. In these libraries, people take on the role of speaking 'books' who act as sources of information, sharing their unique lived experiences and perspectives,

Please come join us on Sunday 17th November 2019 at Pearl Cove Library to hear from four living 'books' with expertise and experience regarding family conflict, elder abuse, the psychological effects of abuse, and the formal processes surrounding this issues.

Open Books - Every Day Experts Sharing Real Knowledge

A Human Living Library Event:

Sign up as a ‘Reader’ to borrow a living 'Book' from a catalogue of four Pearl Cove older Australians that are ready to exchange stories and knowledge. It’s time to turn a new page and pick up new skills, to see that possibilities are endless despite age or ability.
