Training in the Eden Alternative is an essential part of transforming individual and facility attitudes to care, so we have details of when and where our regular workshops are held, which lead to becoming an Eden Associate.

We are developing the ‘down under’ philosophy and practice of the Eden Alternative which has been created and grown in the United States, by Dr William Thomas, and is now spreading around the world.

The core concept of the Eden Alternative is simple:we must teach ourselves to see existing and new care environments as habitats for human beings rather than facilities for the frail and elderly. The Eden Alternative shows us how companion animals, children and plants help in providing an opportunity for meaningful care, and how the Eden Alternative eliminates the aged care plagues of loneliness, helplessness and boredom.
