An event if
coming up for you!
รจ
A joint initiative between Ararfmi and
GreenApple Respite Services (division of Workpower) to develop and facilitate a
Peer Support Project. The project will
target Carer’s whose children are affected by a sibling’ mental illness; this
can encompass Young Carers who care for a family member. The project aims to
provide a peer support network for individuals where they can develop life
skills, coping skills and a network of individuals in their life who share or
have shared a similar experience in a warm and supportive environment.
My Job has been to
source a contact list for this event and explore costs for community
newspapers. This has been completed efficiently – Just waiting on a response
from the Community News Group; hopefully we will get a discount as we are non
for profit!!
The most interesting
part of this activity was discovering how many support and youth groups there
are around Perth. Those who think they have no one to turn. This is completely
untrue - there are about a 10 trillion people you can call! Here are just a few
options:
Connect Groups - http://www.connectgroups.org.au/
Headspace - http://www.headspace.org.au/
Youth with a Mission Perth - http://www.ywamperth.org.au/
While creating another contact list for our stakeholder event coming up (so exciting!) – you would
think this would be simple if you give each division a template to follow,
trust me it is not. People are useless!! Due to their carelessness I have to
put hours of work into fixing it and chasing up names. I feel this activity is
similar to the other Blog posted previously – doing these simple things really
well and better than other people would ever do it is very important. Do not look
down on tasks you have been given but take the opportunity to show how well you
can do it – no matter the simplicity of the task.
Until Next time…
