What we get up to
Overnight events and adventures connecting participants to new and exciting experiences — getaways and respite weekends focused on independence, social connection, and memories that last a lifetime.

When attending a BeAbout Connect event we understand that the idea of your participant going on an overnight or multi-day event can bring up a lot of questions. That's completely normal — and we welcome every single one of them. Here's how BeAbout Connect is designed to give you complete peace of mind.
We connect with you to understand your loved one’s care needs,
preferences, and every Connect event is staffed by experienced BeAbout team members who know our participants well. We never send someone unfamiliar with a participant on an overnight event. Our team are police checked, first aid certified, and trained to manage a wide range of support needs in community settings.
We keep Connect groups intentionally small and maintain careful staff-to-participant ratios throughout every event — day and night. No participant is ever left without appropriate support, regardless of time or situation.
We share updates, photos (with consent), and check-ins throughout every Connect event. If anything comes up — however minor — we contact families immediately. You will never be left wondering what's happening.
Every Connect event is planned with individual support needs front of mind. Before any participant attends a Connect event, we have a detailed conversation with them and their family about their needs, preferences, and any medical or behavioural considerations. Nothing is assumed.
Every Connect event has a clear emergency protocol in place — including first aid coverage, emergency contact procedures, and clear escalation pathways. We plan for every scenario so that our participants and families never have to.
