In alignment with 16 Days in WA, the Sarah Ford Foundation is hosting a FREE community morning tea, with guest speaker Jolene Ellat (CEO, DART Institute) creating awareness and providing education around family and domestic violence (FDV). As the community grows in Serpentine Jarrahdale and the surrounding districts of City of Armadale and City of Gosnells, the Sarah Ford Foundation welcomes interested individuals to register for FREE if they wish to come and hear the facts about FDV and how they can play their part.

Sarah Ford (Founder and Director) of the Sarah Ford Foundation will also be officially launching the ROSE program, which will commence in January 2026. The ROSE program is an exercise program designed for women who are experiencing or who are survivors of FDV. Come and hear about how this program will work and how women can take part - free of charge, and how exercise can be medicine for mental health alongside traditional treatments such as talk therapies.

What to expect:

This will be an informative morning with an extremely sought after and renowned guest speaker. Jolene will be speaking for an hour and then Sarah will outline the ROSE program prior to morning tea being served. The event runs from 10:00am to 1:00pm but may finish earlier depending on attendance and questions.

Please register your attendance as spaces are capped. You're encouraged to wear something orange in support of 16 Days in WA.

The Sarah Ford Foundation would like to thank you for your interest in this event, and we believe that together we can work to stop FDV against women. If you have any questions please contact the Sarah Ford Foundation at: admin@sarahfordfoundation.org.
