​Your Life Talks - Your Life Story
Let's Start a Conversation 
​

'Your Life Talks' Australia calling...

I would like to invite you to find out more about Your Life Talks and our two sets of Conversation Starter Cards, plus our FREE online information website, called Your Life Assist.  Order yours now here at:   Your Life Talks Shop.

Families & Support Groups (eg various Cancer, Stroke, Dementia, MS, Parkinson's, Disability, AA, Aged Care, Palliative Care etc Support groups) who have used our Conversation Starter Cards at their meetings (or privately) have reported that the experience was a positive and rewarding activity for everyone involved....(please see our attached references). 

Even some schools who have 'Aged Care Home Visitation' programs whereby their students visit the elderly and engage them in conversation, have reported increased involvement/participation as a result of using the ‘Your Life Story’ deck of cards, for example.

'Everyone has a story to tell',....so it’s a good idea to start with cards from the ‘Your Life Story’ deck. Recalling their fondest memories and life experiences can be lots of fun. The groups/families will enjoy discovering stories from each other’s childhoods and hearing about their early adult lives, and the adventures and anecdotes along the way.

It is a natural progression after reflecting on their life’s journey to talk about their future plans. ‘Your Life Wishes’ card deck helps to ‘break the ice’ regarding talking about, sometimes more difficult topics, such as health and medical care issues, making a Will & Power of Attorney and preferred funeral arrangements and memorialisation.​

There are 50 questions in each of the Conversation Starter card decks, so they can be used at group sessions over a period of time, to encourage ongoing discussions, from meeting to meeting.  Order yours now here at:   Your Life Talks Shop.

As well as social workers (working in Oncology, Corrections, Aged Care, Youth Services, etc), if you know of workshop facilitators or support group leaders, then these cards are a wonderful 'non-confronting' tool to assist them with motivating their groups to 'kick start' these important conversations. For further information Free brochures can be downloaded from our website.

We now have Speakers/Facilitators in all capital cities all over Australia who are available to give FREE workshops to various support groups and community organisations. 

Additionally, our sister website Your Life Assist has recently been listed in the Cancer Council’s Services Guide (VIC) p75; please see the attachment provided.

Finally, I'd like to inform you that we have just taken delivery of the first translations of both of our Conversation start card decks  into Polish and Vietnamese.....with Chinese and Arabic to follow, during the first quarter of 2018.
