I do not have a car or transport, how can I still attend the Family Group Conference?
We understand that everyone's circumstances are different and that some people do not have the availability of a car for transport to attend the conference. We suggest that you first ask a family member or a friend to see if they give you a lift to attend the Family Group Conference or look for any available public transport including buses or trains. If you are still unable to get rideshare or get a lift then you can ask the facilitator for help. One Future can provide video conferencing if no other options are available.
